Negative. I toyed with running FreeNAS on my home NAS, however I like
the control I get with Arch. This may change someday, as I see FreeNAS
has nice support for Crashplan, overall management of the system would
be significantly easier and faster, and the encryption would give me
greater piece of mind.

Regarding the encryption, that appears across the Linux distro
platform for ZOL (not counting BSD of course), unless I missed
something?
