I just bought one. :-) My imprssions: - Installed Nexentastor community edition in it. All hardware was recognized and works. No problem there.

Did you try NexentaCore? You gain full control over command line, like in OpenSolaris. However it seems faster and got more bugs fixed than OpenSolaris b134. I have already had OpenSolaris b134 crash one of my disk systems, I would never install it again... Besides, I would never get full 1 gigabit speed over NFS with OpenSolaris, I barely managed a 100-200 Mbits/sec, however in NexentaCore with the same hardware, Im maxing out my gigabit network.

I would also add that you should try the NexentaStor Enterprise demo - fully functional for 45 days. If you find a partner they will most likely be able to provide you a managed trial.

If > you find a partner they will most likely be able to > provide you a managed trial. I'd be interested to > hear what parts of the GUI didn't work for > you.I couldn''t do several relatively simple and straightforward things. Like for example: - Creating a group didn''t work. I clicked on "settins", "users" then "new group", gave it a name and added some users, than clicked on "create new". However the group was not created, and no feedback was given that the operation was unsuccessful. - I then found out how to create groups on the command line, however I also noticed that when creating a group on the console, and adding a user to it while creating this group removes that user from other groups. Also I could not find out where on the console I could add users to a group, nor could I add users to a group via the web console. Manipulating users and groups is a quite essential to operatin a NAS. That this fails to work as expected without any hint as to why this would fail does not give me a good impression. A second issue was when manipulating ACLs. Given a zfs volume with a large quota set, 2.4T in this case. When you go to the directory page, where you can add and remove ACLs the web interface fills out the fields with the current value. In this case the quota field will be pre filled with the value 2.4T. However when I then try to remove an ACL the interace complains that the quota field contains an illegal value... I have to manually change 2.4T to 2400G, and do this each time I try to do something with an ACL. After these experiences I decided to give up on nexentastor. I have no problem with managing users, groups and shares using unix commands. The GUI is only needed for in case someone else needs to do something on the system. However if the GUI fails such simple tasks it''s not really usefull. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
I can now confirm that NexentaCore runs without a hitch on the N36L -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
Hello everybody,
I''ve found this thread via google after having trouble installing the
recent nexantastore community version on my N36L I bought a few days ago.
I''ve used an USB DVD drive to install nexantastore on a 16GB USB flash
drive. The basic installation went fine until the first reboot. After rebooting,
I only get a bunch of error messages (see attachement "problem") and
the machine hangs for about 5-10 minutes until the EULA screen appears.
Next step is entering the registration code and configuring the LAN settings -
no problems with that but then there are more error messages showing up (see
attachement "problem2"). After a while the web GUI is accessible but
it''s not possible to finish the installation wizards because you end up
at an error report (see attachement "error report") I
couldn''t sent via mail (syntax error) even if the mail test worked
during configuring the settings some steps before.
I ran the whole installation twice now (with a new installation disc for the
second try) and now I don''t have any ideas.

Hello Richard, I''ve downloaded a new iso and created the second copy on a different computer at my workplace (with the "verify data" option enabled within NERO and slow 4x writing speed) - I also used another blank disc brand. Cheers Jan -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
I could resolve this issue: I was testing FreeNAS with a raidz1 setup before I decided to check out Nexentastore and it seems Nexentastore has some kind of problems if the harddisk array already contain some kind of raidz data.
