I like what you guys are doing here. I think one day you guys may be the BTRFS version of ZFS / FreeNAS. Unless FreeNAS adds support for BTRFS…
Rockstor works beautifully for managing disks, pools, and shares. And I like the dashboard, esp the Disk Activity graph.
Then there is stuff like this: Rockstor System Shell = 502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.10.2 · Issue #1739 · rockstor/rockstor-core · GitHub
As a new user almost seven months after this issue was reported I had to research and find the solution. It just looks so fracking bad for the over all ‘product’ when something like that doesn’t just work.
And then there are things like the ISO being out of date, and then the updates causing issues with rock-ons after the reboot to use the new supported kernel. I get that fix updates don’t require a new ISO build, but changing the kernel!?
It is so frustrating when I get Plex working, reboot after an update, and Plex stops working.
Then there are the rock-ons that simply don’t work, with little to no feedback on what went wrong.
And then this Dev log for 3.9.2 - #45 by suman
It seams like you are leaving testers hanging in the wind. Could you have continued providing updates the old way and migrated after the new systems is working?
I would gladly pay $40 for three years of security updates for a nice front end for BTRFS, Plex, Transmission + OpenVPN, and ZoneMinder. Because those are the things I want my home server to run 24/7.
But so far Rockstor has been way more work than rolling my own in with Ubuntu Server.
