The downside of knowing about this stuff is that there are so many
options :-) It took me ages to decide to move my media off the NAS and
onto a larger HDD on my desktop, but it was definitely the right thing
to do.

Last night I started wondering if I could rip out the drives on the NAS
and build one myself using a Raspberry Pi and FreeNAS, so that'll be
another maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

I can understand apps not knowing the problem is SElinux. I can't
understand Samba saying:

canonicalize_connect_path failed for service WinBackup, path /storage/Backups/Win10

instead of saying 'there was an access problem'.
