FreeNASi arendajad on esitanud Linuxi põhiseadme TrueNAS SCALE

iXsystems, which develops the distribution for the rapid deployment of network storage FreeNAS and the commercial products based on it TrueNAS, teatas announces the beginning of work on a new open project TrueNAS SCALE. The feature of TrueNAS SCALE is the use of the Linux kernel and the Debian 11 (Testing) package base, while all previously released products of the company, including TrueOS (formerly PC-BSD), were based on FreeBSD.

Among the goals of creating the new distribution are expanding scalability, simplifying infrastructure management, using Linux containers, and focusing on the creation of software-defined infrastructures.As with FreeNAS, TrueNAS SCALE relies on the ZFS file system implemented by the project OpenZFS (ZFS On Linux is proposed as the reference implementation of ZFS). In TrueNAS SCALE, tools developed by iXsystems for FreeNAS and TrueNAS 12 will also be used.Development and support for FreeNAS, TrueNAS CORE, and TrueNAS Enterprise based on FreeBSD will continue unchanged. The key idea of the initiative is that OpenZFS 2.0 will

support both Linux and FreeBSD, opening the door for experiments in creating a universal toolkit for NAS, independent of any particular operating system, and allowing for experimentation with Linux. The application of Linux will enable the implementation of some ideas unattainable with FreeBSD. As a result, solutions based on FreeBSD and Linux will coexist and complement each other, using a shared codebase for the tools. pakutud Development of TrueNAS SCALE-specific build scripts

is being carried out on GitHub. More detailed information about the architecture is expected to be published in the next quarter, along with periodically updated test builds to familiarize developers with the progress. The first release of TrueNAS SCALE is scheduled for 2021. Let us remind you that two months ago, iXsystemsannounced the merger of the free distribution FreeNAS with the commercial project TrueNAS, enhancing FreeNAS capabilities for enterprises, as well as

the cessation of the TrueOS project (formerly PC-BSD). Interestingly, in 2009, FreeNAS already teatas spun off otsustas OpenMediaVault, which was migrated to the Linux kernel and Debian package base. , distro OpenMediaVault, mis on tõlgitud Linuxi tuumale ja Debian'i pakettbaasile.
