DSSv6 under the hood

I tried searching the forum for this content, would be cool it someone from Open-E could shed abit of light.

Knowing Open-E DSS was based on Linux was one of the things that brought my attention to the software in the first place. As with any hardware and/or appliance on my network I like to know the inner workings of it.

Being locked out of the box I must say is pretty anoying. Which I haven't seen done for awhile. Even the EMC lets you in.
