I have an old x86_64 computer which I am planning to use as a NAS. Which of the 2 is a better option? Is it helpful or better to run on bare metal or as a VM on proxmox?

    I verry much like OMV, simply because i could use it with knowledge i already have.

    It is a Debian system -> I understand that

    It uses normal RAID and ext4 -> I understand that (Plus, if things go wrong, I can just pop the drives back into any other computer and use it without much fuss)

    It has a rSnapshot plug in -> I already used that in the past.

    Sure I’m missing out on fancy stuff like BTRFS / ZFS, but i can live with that.
