 Using a stable Debian base line mixed with some custom control code
= lovely stable free NAS platform.

Its not perfect:

1. Weird python errors when doing apt-get updates
2. LVM management - cant create more than one volume group (odd decision)
3. Network config - Interfaces renaming is especially irritating due to debian stretch and many other newer distros to use the new systemd naming convention - meaning old jessie was like eth0,eth1, now use enps30 etc
Of course the clever guy at openmediavault has created a omv-firstaid cli to rename from shell if all goes pear shaped.

What i like the most:

Set and forget approach. Makes creating RAID set etc a breeze, Sharing files is also logical and streamlined - NFS and CIFS.

OMV extras - Tons of third party addons that make it even better!

Great work!
Highly recommended for a free NAS solution!
