XBMC and FreeNAS

It is not possible to boot into 2 OS unless you are using virtualization. You could set up a virtual environment and accomplish this...

Or you could simply use Ubuntu with XBMC.

then would it be possible to virtualize FreeNAS?

Yes. They have VMWare images available for download.

FreeNAS for x64
FreeNAS for x86

Awesome! Will try that.

Thanks ;D

Ok i tried to get the NFS shares to work but i get this message:


mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on freenas:/mnt/2tb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Here is the code that im trying to use:

freenas:/mnt/3tb /mnt/media/3tb nfs defaults 0 0
freenas:/mnt/2tb /mnt/media/2tb nfs defaults 0 0
freenas:/mnt/2tbRz1/2tbZfsRZ1 /mnt/media/2tbz nfs defaults 0 0

Its the same basic code in using on a debain box that does work correctly:

freenas:/mnt/3tb /mnt/3tbR5 nfs defaults 0 0
freenas:/mnt/2tb /mnt/2tb nfs defaults 0 0
freenas:/mnt/2tbRz1/2tbZfsRZ1 /mnt/2tbRZ1 nfs defaults 0 0
