Almost a year ago I have similar doubts and ( bad ) adventures trying to
use Freenas and nas4free, and it only gave me lots of head aches !!!

My advice is forget about it, with ZFS is just not stable ( my record was 5
days before weird and inexplicable freezes ! ) .

With native BSD file system works OK, but the performance are realy poor .

People in this list pointed me to a stable solution :

This :

plus this :

6 mounths up and running smoothly and rock solid !!!


I am using nfs with dedicated switcher, the performance are excelent ...
