Good stuff!    When you have more time, I highly recommend that you
collaborate with iXsystems (contact dev_at_ixsystems.com )
, since they can help you with doing interop testing with VMWare ESX and
Windows Server
environments.  It is a lot of work to set up those environments and do the
testing,
but those environments are what are most heavily used in the real world
data centers,
and a number of customers are interested in using FreeNAS/TrueNAS (FreeBSD)
as a backend storage
to those operating systems.
