freenas

What's more important for a FreeNAS SLOG drive, lower latency or higher write performance? Consider the following: Intel S3710 200 GB Seq Read = 550 MB/s Seq Write = 300 MB/s Random Read = 85,000 IOPS Random Write = 43,000 IOPS Read Latency = 55 us Write Latency = 66 us Lifetime Writes = 3.6...

Hello Everybody, I just bought all my compnents for my FreeNAS DIY-Server and the last item should arrive tomorrow. But now i tried to learn how to install my OS on the device. Neither my CPU nor my Motherboard has a GPU so my question is, does the System install itself on another USB Stick...

Just upgraded two of our NAS boxes to the latest FreeNAS 11.1. We're facing the following issues: SNMP service bringing down one box NFS mounts timing out on the other box so no client at the moment can connect via NFS One of the boxes reverted its hostname to 'freenas' (minor issue but...

Hey everbody, I‘ve come into the next round of Planing my personal NAS. As i Mentioned in previous threads i want to use FreeNAS with ZFS (RAID-Z2) for the storage of my movies and music and photos. Maybe i want to stream mkv files (movies) - but only for myself (which means that there a few...

Good morning and Happy New Year. This is my first post, so thanks for having me. I am also brand spankin new at FreeNas, so I appreciate any patience you can afford. I did a quick search but haven't seen any posted since earlier than July 2017. I am running VMware ESXi or whatever hypervisor...

Hello Everybody, I hope this will be my last post and I finally will be able to build my own NAS. Like I mentioned in previous posts I want to create a NAS with about 25 TB of storage for Saving of my many private files. I researched a lot and finally made a list of my components I intended...

Hallo everybody, I again have a few questions about the usage (or building) of a NAS Server. I want to create a private NAS with a huge amount of files (I think there are about 18 Terabyte of files I want to save) and my biggest fear is to lose them due to Bit Rot. So I Read that ZFS should be...

Hi All, I had my first degraded pool in my home box. One of the WD red Drives (Bestbuy 8tb pull) was generating cksum errors. I went out to get a new replacement drive from BB since they were down to 149 ea and i was able to get red label based on SN and model number. I replace the drive...

I posted this in the wrong area of the forum. Hope I have better luck here :) I am in the process of getting a proper 10gbit vaai supported storage solution for my home lab. I am considering the QNAP TS-831X, as it has 2x sfp+ built-in, and vaai support + vsphere plugin. Not sure if the...

Hey! I am in the process of getting a proper 10gbit vaai supported storage solution for my home lab. I am considering the QNAP TS-831X, as it has 2x sfp+ built-in, and vaai support + vsphere plugin. Not sure if the performance will be good enough though. So, I found some hardware I might...

Hi everyone! I am looking for an affordable Proxmox home server; do you have any suggestions? Currently, I am running mainly two VMs: a pfSense and a FreeNAS. PfSense acts as firewall between LAN and modem, while FreeNAS acts as home NAS by handling 2x6TB passed-through hard-disks in mirroring...

Hi All, I currently have a DIY, do-it-all, server built at home that acts as a domain controller, Hyper-V host and storage server (an absolute mess of roles, hence the need to sort out proper replacements now I have some money burning a hole in my pocket). This machine is housed in a 24 bay...

Just as a quick heads-up to folks. FreeNAS 11 u2 will boot on Denverton / Intel Atom C3000 series. FreeNAS 11 u2 will not detect the Intel X553 NICs. I do expect this will be fixed in a future revision. Simple as using updated drivers and the iXsystems guys will need to update.

Obviously not a home build;) This is a 1 PB usable FreeNAS build for an archival tier for scientific images all in a Raid-10 configuration with dual 10GB for connectivity. Net cost was around 100k USD. Original Story: https://www.facebook.com/groups/118037613554/permalink/10155612053748555/

Hi all, is it all right to open a new thread to see how many of you succesfully run FreeNAS on the HP ML10 v2 server? What I'm trying to do is building a cheap freenas box (with 8GB RAM) to use for replication of my main freenas machine. So definitely investigating if the RAID controller works...

Hi, I just ordered on ebay a H310 card for my R710 so that I can flash into IT mode so that I can let FreeNAS play nicely with my drives and overcome the 2TB limitation. I don't have experience at all with backplanes, SAS connection and basic server related hardware.. so I wonder if someone...

STHers - I'm really struggling with this one and could really use your help. I've been stuck on this for 2 weeks and have an urgent need to finish this system build. Summary: I need to set up a FreeNAS box as an ESXi NFS datastore. For data integrity, I want to use sync=enabled. To "win...

Thought I would elicit some advice from the group regarding an upgrade I am working on. Current Setup: Synology 1812+ 4x8TB RAID5 + 845 DC Evo 960GB as read cache for Media Storage (The spinning drives will be repurposed for an offsite backup) 2x PM853t 960GB Raid1 for NFS ESXi and Docker...

Heading off to sleep, but I think I have a project tomorrow that people are going to be interested in. We have had threads on Proxmox v. Docker and periodic threads on why not Proxmox and Docker. For a home lab proof of concept I now bring you: Docker running on Proxmox bare metal with a web...
