Getting help with your problem is a lot easier when everyone uses the correct terminology. That way there's less room for misunderstandings. 3.
Especially helpful for new and prospective users, Cyberjock's guide contains information that every users should know like the back of their hand. 4. From hardware testing to system reporting, to scheduling those all important scrubs and S.M.A.R.T. DrKK's will guide you through the basics of setting up a FreeNAS server. 5. A guide for more thorough testing of your disks than that which is contained in DrKK's guide above.
6. A guide that details what hardware is ideal for FreeNAS use and what hardware is not. So I finally got freenas installed on my test machine (9.3, Intel DN2800MT board, Atom N2800 with 4GB ram. Installed to 16GB USB drive, using 256GB mSATA SSD for storage).Apart from the fact that the install took over an hour, when booting normally (after updates) it was more than 10 mins.I then tried installing a plugin, in this case owncloud, and about 30 mins later it hasn't finished.Meanwhile, I've tried installing it within Virtualbox to see if it's just the hardware.Giving it 16GB ram, and 4 threads, running on a 4790k host, with the VHDs on an SSD, it still takes ages to do anything.Am I doing it entirely wrong?
I'm thinking I was better off just using the debian box I had before for this stuff.Edit: Part of my issue was down to my own stupidity, in that I'd changed the default settings in Virtualbox and Freenas didn't like it. I've swapped out the Atom board for another identical one, and the USB stick for an 8GB one, but now can't set up the storage as it won't see the old volume or wipe the disk.:/ Because this is MSATA I can't plug it into a windows box to wipe it either. Had to download the ISO to do this. Host is Win7pro, 32gb, i7-3570k.
I put the 8gb freenas boot VDI on an ocz revo, and then a 90gb VDI to test with, also on the revo.Install times, from hitting 'ok' after entering root password to reboot dialogue:. Virtual box with 2 core, 8gb: 47 seconds. VM Playerwith 2 core, 8gb (No workstation on work PC): 1:08Test Virtualbox with a VHD: 1:02I was able to work in the vm player without any noticeable difference from our proudction 9.3 machine.Virtualbox boot to console setup: 1:12.
QNAP designs and delivers high-quality network attached storage (NAS) and professional network video recorder (NVR) solutions to users from home, SOHO to small, medium businesses. USB 3.0: from optional to mandatory. Thecus was the first to launch NAS compatible with USB 3.0 for early adopters. Now that the technology has matured and more USB 3.0 devices exist on the market, it was time to embed it by default! The N2800 has one USB 3.0.
This includes ssh key generation and DHCP timeouts (nic was recognized).I can't say you are doing something entirely wrong, but something is certainly wrong.I'd change it from 4 threads to 1 or 2 (cpu contention is real), and change it to 8gb ram. (You never mentioned how much you have on your host, don't want it swapping).I'm pretty sure I've installed 8.x.x to a Atom 330 and it wasn't a blaze of glory, but it booted faster than what you are seeing. I've swapped the atom board and the USB stick out, seems to be running better.I can't import the old mSATA disk or wipe it though, it seems it won't wipe the ZFS pool from another installation?I can't connect the disk to my PC as it's mSATA. root@freenas # gpart show= 25 ada0 GPT (238G)34 94 - free - (47k)1 1 freebsd-swap (2.0G)4123720 2 freebsd-zfs (236G)500118152 7 - free - (3.5k)= 1 da0 GPT (7.5G)34 1024 1 bios-boot (512k)1058 6 - free - (3.0k)104 2 freebsd-zfs (7.5G)15669208 7 - free - (3.5k).
Go away. zpool import $oldpoolname (or use GUI). zpool destroy $oldpoolname (or use GUI). Use GUI to make a new pool. (or cli if you are feeling frisky.)Edit: A little more information.can 'wipe' a ZFS disk by zero'ing out the first 2MB and last 2MB on the disk.gpart essentially has no part in ZFS. ZFS wants, and should get, full access to your disks (as what FreeNAS previoulsy did your mSATA).Glad to hear you got it running better, although I'd still like to know what was wrong with your ATOM board. I'd try it out if I had one, but I don't think you'll ship it to me to let me test:DNeed any other help, just let me know.

That's good to know. I've followed the theory of zfs for a long time but I'm a bit weak in Linux knowledge so BSD always seemed a step too far.I don't know if it was the atom board or the USB stick to be honest, at some point I'll fiddle with the other one again.

I am having problems connecting to my NAS on my windows 7 PC. Under the network tab on the left hand side on the MY computer page I can see my NAS and PC but cannot log into either of them! As soon as I click on the NAS I get the ' NAS is not accessible.You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out your access permissions' error!!! I cannot map it or do anything as I get this error every time I double click it!!! How do I fix this?? Pleaseany help would be fantastic as its driving me crazy!!!!
When accessing a network storage device like a NAS, there is usually somewhere on the NAS setup screens where you can define user names/password for accessing the device and/or the shares. I am going to bet that you don't have a share access user definedon the NAS (or possibly that there is a username defined on the NAS but that username/password is different from your username/password on your Windows machine).The fact that the NAS is showing up under the network explorer is good, that means the NAS is dealing with Windows Networking correctly. All you have to do now is deal with the username/password issue and you should be good to go.Ron.
