While waiting for this project to complete, "naas" has gone online. A commercial NAS box which was sitting useless on a table. I got it to work and it now has the latest firmware. It's a Zyxel NSA-220. 300GB raid1

Build up a NAS server (e.g. by using http://www.freenas.org/) which is located at the syn₂cat hackerspace. It is open to anyone for storing data.

Possible usage:

• bring your laptop dans sync it to your private storage with timemachine, rsync ...
• store huge chunks of data you would like to be available at the hackerspace, to one person or to anyone visiting
• anything else you can do with a disk array

Implementation

• 386 based PC
• many connectors for disks
• lotsa disks or some huge disks
• freenas software
• manuals how to use sync software and keep your data encryptd on the NAS
• implement quota?
• a nice case with lotsa funky leds doing useless blinkenlights

Progress:

• a nice tower housing with 6-8 harddisk slots has been donated to the hackerspace!
• one 320GB PATA disk
• announced: some more disks and an PATA raid controller

Still needed:

• power supply
• motherboard
• several sata cards
• 8 harddisks of 1.5TB each. All disks the same for doing a correct RAID? Maybe need to look into how freenas manages the disks and if different sizes can be mixed.
