Topic: SME on a NAS

Has anyone got experience with using SME on a QNAP TS-239 Pro II+ Turbo NAS ?

it's not a good habit crossposting !
Please ask your question just once in appropriate forum.

BTW: I'm sorry to say I read your post in 2 forums and I do not understand what do you wanna to  know.
Do you wanna to modify SME to use space on NAS to share ?
(I don't wanna to be rude... just informativee... and remember english is not my first language!)

I was aware that crossposting would give a reaction, but I did it to be sure that both SME 7 and 8 users could give me an answer.
I am looking for new hardware for my server and was wondering if a NAS would be suitable for this. Maybe someone allready tried this.

if you need something similar and fully supported by RH/SME, you could buy an HP microserver.. I'm using it with 4 1.5 TB disks with raid5 nospare.. working flawlessy, fast enough, very cheap.. HTH

To be short
I don't think so
But no one could (and dare) stop you to try

I have tried to put it on virtual machine (a free one is ProxMox) http://www.proxmox.com/
I use this for testing scenarios and it seems to work with virtual SME server flawless
Just try it if you are sure you don't broke the original OS of that NAS
