bmcclure937,
I am using FreeNAS and though I plan to start using NFS soon, I already had UPnP up and running to my PS3. XBMC has had no problems pulling from that. UPnP has been good for me as I have several different devices in the house that take advantage of that protocol.
I too have to clean up my media library. Long ago I ripped a lot of movies to individual folders with the VOBs inside and it seems that nothing wants to play a whole directory seemlessly. I think I will have to re-rip to ISO, which the PS3 doesn't support and use the XBMC solely for movies now.

I've been thinking about something for the past few days and it's probably the most ridiculous thing you'll ever read and I'm kinda embarrassed of asking, but I'm still not sure about the answer, so here it goes.
Would it be possible to run FreeNAS and XMBC on the same machine? Maybe each one installed on a different drives.

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.

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
