Short Answer: incompatibilities with current infrastructure, and "It's not Linux". Long Answer: We had a gentoo file-server before, and wanted more storage and reliability, so we built up the freenas server. For some reason the LDAP functions in freenas 9.1 are working, but don't work with their interface. Basically, we can set it up, and it works, but the "Directory Services" service fails to start. Because of this, we can't get ldap auth working for the CIFS shares, so we've hard coded the samba config files and got it to work. Unfortunately the web interface overwrites the changes and drops the shares from the network when accessed. So we are in constant battle with the web gui and the integrity checking scripts in cron. For some reason, our /var partition is also full. 'df -h' shows: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md2 149M 149M -11M 109% /var But 'du -sh /var' shows: 10M /var/ I'm confidant that this is some mess that we did to get the ldap/cifs working, but clueless on how to fix it. With /var full, apps and services sometimes die or slow down as they wait for free space to be allocated. And of course, since /var is full, everything that errors because of it get logged to <dramatic pause> /var. It's become a weekly chore that we just have to break for an hour and fix the freenas server again, which is beyond my level of tolerance for a device. If it wasn't for the ldap integration, it would probably be working fine. We had this system running stand-alone for a good 6 months before we decided to move it in place, never had issues then.
