| TrueNAS is on FreeBSD, as well as lots of network equipment. This does affect us more than we think as operators. |

| Juniper JunOS is based on FreeBSD IIRC. |

| I would think that pure-storage NAS or network equipment
was effectively completely immune to local privilege escalation. I'll give you the NAS where it might be running untrusted containers or such, but that's it. |

| Alas, TrueNAS actually switched to Linux a couple of years ago. |

| ▲ | sbankowi 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | FreeBSD was the reason I chose TrueNAS Core. Unfortunately, you are right, TrueNAS Scale (Linux) is where they are focusing all their attention.
At this point I will not purchase additional TrueNAS equipment as I feel I was "rug pulled." I get that they are going after more of the Docker container/app market, but I just want a solid ZFS w/excellent networking NAS device. Linux is close to this ideal, but it isn't as "Set and Forget" as FreeBSD (IMO). | | |
| ▲ | BadBadJellyBean 23 minutes ago | parent [-] | | You usually don't really interact with the OS underneath at all so I don't think it makes much of a difference unless you are very fond of Jails. I mean that is the whole point of a NAS OS. It gives you a GUI and you don't have to worry about the rest. |
