  • Cool, thanks for clearing that up. Im building a home server atm and working through which file system to go with. I have 4x enterprise SSDs that im going to start with, and some of it will be used for NAS storage, among other services.

    I know zfs has a lot of fans, but im personally more experienced with btrfs, so trying to decide between the two.







  • Its more about the hardware than software.

    • Able to have enough processing power to utilize the max speed that my ISP provides, while having IDS/IPS and other services enabled.
    • Port segregation so that each port can be on its own network with a full speed backplane.
    • PoE capabilities
    • SPF ports to utilize both fiber and copper connections
    • Multiple networks across many wireless access points

  • I freakin love OpenWRT. I used it for a solid 5-6 years on some consumer grade routers and learned a lot about managing networks.

    Ive since moved to more powerful enterprise network gear because OpenWRT opened that door for me and taught me what is possible. I might not ever go back to it, but I will always recommend OpenWRT to people who want to rice out their routers and get the most out of it.
