If you are looking at openfiler, you might also want to consider 
nexentastor.  Their community edition is free for up to 12TB of storage. 
  It's an OpenSolaris/ZFS based system with web management, able to 
export cifs/nfs/ftp/sftp/iscsi with support for snapshots, 
deduplication, compression, etc.  I haven't used it beyond installing in 
a VM and going through some options, but it looks more capable than 
anything else I've seen for free.
