Chris, excuse me if I heart you with my first post….maybe my english is not too comprehensive…. But i m trying to improve it.

When I came here my first impression was: wow, such a perfect comunity to share knwoledge between professionals and people like me (amateur)… This is not just a hobby, I understand that but I think you put me on a basket without reading my first post: I dont want you, or Bob Zelin to come to Spain, to my house, and do all thework for me. I ll be glad to have you both here with a beer on each hand….

I want to know if there is someone out there who has efficiently shared video files between two Mac systems running FCP using a FREENAS server.

I know the correct/faster/troubelless way to do that is expending money, same thing as in my professional carreer, you want to have nice footage, forget DVX-100 or p2 go HD or panavision…….

So after that long explanation of what I want to ask here, I m trying to make you understand that if I wanted to make money with my server, raid, room I ll never doubt on expending 20 000€ or wathever my special needs will be, but at this moment I just want to try.

Thank you for your responses, even if they seem out of order I understand how painfull must be to make understand people out there how the real world works.

Thank you Bob,

I´ll take your advice for future testings but at this moment i m just testing with the hardware and software I have without spending too much money!

Now I have my OPENFILER SAN server runing and still trying to setup my computers to work.

If I get some results i´ll post all the information, good or bad…

you said: “You said “a lot of time”. This is what it takes to actually get this working – time. Learning all about networking, link aggregation, setting up switches – this is what professionals so. They spend a lot of time learing all this stuff, and once they know how to do it, they charge people money for their services.”

Time is the most expensive good we have on life and I am excited spending some on this project!

Today I´ll try FREENAS because AFP is perfectly integrated on it.

I´ll be back.

Thank you Bob for you effort and quick response.
