NAS

Depends on what your plans are, an actual NAS-only machine or what develops into a general-purpose server. For the NAS part you’d only need a few services like FTP, SMB or whatever you want to run.

Those are easily configured on the command line.

Checked your journal?

KDE is a desktop environment, not a distro. You can therefore install it on most distros, or get variations of the distros (e.g. Kubuntu).

If you’re happy with it, why change? It’s really polished and customisable.

For the parts, impossible to say as we don’t know what you got in there.

Something without a GUI.

Well, what else would you expect from a church?

Documents and media is your smallest problem. As you put it, you simply copy them over and that’s it.

Well, what’s using your /var?

ironic

Alanis, is that you?

Wait, what? What kind of clown country are you guys running over there?

Write error : cannot write block : No space left on device

Seems like your boot partition is full.

It should, but apparently it isn’t, at least not reliably.

ZFS

Did you check the logs for any messages when it drops out? Dmesg mostly.

Incredibly rarely, and not as a part of everyday life. The few notes I take are usually digital as part of my work.

That’s because a lot of them are dependencies for the packages you actually want to use, and those needed for the system to work as designed.

Debian on my servers as a very stable base, Fedora Kionoite on the laptop to try out the concept of atomic distros.

Which goes for nearly every study paid by the industry. Any industry.

Did you actually test which drive is faster?

Foul play is not suspected

Does “foul play” include gas leaks, etc., or are those counted as accidents or similar?
