Linux Btrfs NAS Server


Rockstor Traditional NAS Server is the recommended solution if you need a robust NAS server without bells and whistles. It allows you to access centralized storage over the network (NAS).

BTRFS is rapidly filling that void by offering many great features.

With Rockstor as your NAS Server, you can:

  • Use the capabilities and amazing feature-set of BTRFS without being a seasoned Linux professional.
  • Realize the full potential of BTRFS as a NAS file-system.
  • Enjoy the benefits of BTRFS while easily managing everything from Rockstor’s Web-User Interface.
