I'm looking for a NAS distro that suits my needs. I already have a FreeNAS box which is great but it doesn't support connecting any form of tape drive to it which is one of my main requirements.

My main requirements are:

1. Supports iSCSI targets.
2. Does some form of RAID. Will be using RAID10.
3. Can connect to tape drives (currently using an HP MSL2024 via FC card). If it's a Linux based system I will most likely use Bacula.
4. Easy to administer web interface. I want to be able to do 99% of the config from a web interface.

It doesn't look like any of the FreeBSD-based distros have tape support. I found OpenMediaVault but having issues with the iSCSI plugin, it ticks all the boxes except that one.

Any other suggestions?
 
Surely you can just modify FreeNAS to talk to the Tape Drives?

Or any Distro for that matter?

No idea if UnRaid might be worth a look?
 
Managed to get iSCSI working on OpenMediaVault :)

Step 1 complete. Now to get the Fibre card installed and see if that works.
