- I am new to UNIX and am having a hard time to get a ZFS share to access from windows 7 on my home network. I was able to access both WHS 2011 and QNAP 459 share on SE 11 by using the file manager - Server - windows & then just using the IP address, username, password. That was easy or at least similar to what I was used with windows 7.
- I would like to run a Virtualbox Jail on the freenas server and be able to run Windows 7/Windows 10 machine (if i decide switch from Windows to Linux as my main OS on my laptop/desktop computers) and run the windows virtual machine in VNC on Linux (Not a dealbreaker if not adviced to run this virtualbox jail on the same server).

The amount of VSS snapshot you can do on windows is by default 64. You can edit the register for be able to have more.
Today I'm running schedule of every 10 minut with zfs snapshot. I wonder what would happen if I move to win server with the same schedule.
One drawback with win is that you can't have multi VSS schema from what I understand but that aside.
Would the windows server be bough down to crawling state or would it steam ahead like my freenas box if you pound it every 10 minutes with snapshot?

Zfs Windows 7 Iso
I like what ZFS offers for data integrity (among other things). Is anybody using ZFS (something like TrueNAS) for file server duties in a Windows environment? With a few AD-joined Macs thrown in for good measure? We use ZFS paired with FreeBSD and Linux (ZOL) inside our virtual storage appliances and also some internal housekeeping. Install windows on zfs, If you just want multi-/dual-boot OS (including Unix) with same /home, ZFS is the only realistic solution another maybe being NTFS, but has certain problems, such as maybe no to use Unix-like, rather than Windows-like, file-names so also utilities, and ZFS is safer. Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is a unified storage system that allows customers to consolidate file, block, and object storage on a single platform. It combines high all-flash performance with petabytes of storage capacity, allowing customers to run all workloads at peak speed. Built-in Oracle.
