Just as a heads-up. If you downloaded the FreeNAS Corral-RELEASE ISO last week, you may want to get downloading again. The latest is FreeNAS-Corral-10.0.2.iso Download Freenas Release - FreeNAS - Open Source Storage Operating System I had one install getting stuck on the initial boot at Loaded...

I think I am going to have to make another image for this. FreeNAS Corral will not support Docker tags until an upcoming release. But - Dockerized mining works! I am going to make a new image but now you can use spare CPU cycles and earn a few dollars along the way.

For anyone who tried installing OwnCloud or NextCloud on FreeNAS, it was at least slightly complicated in FreeNAS 9.10. Here are the basic steps to get started. 1. Get Docker running by creating a host VM. 2. Go to Docker -> Containers -> + -> Choose an image -. NextCloud and click save: In...

SOS - I upgraded a FreeNAS from 9.10 to Corral and it sees one of 4 volumes or pools I have on the machine. Anyone?

For those who did not see, FreeNAS Corral (the new name of FreeNAS 10) was released early this morning. We have a bunch of content in the pipeline so I figured it would be a good idea to get an index in the forums. STH Content Welcome to the FreeNAS Corral Era - Our launch piece Direct...

Hey I´m trying to set up a Cron Job in a jail on a Freenas server which runs Rclone and dumps backup files to Google Drive (offsite backup) and wanted to check if anyone at STH is a Cron Job pro (i'm more of a nix hobbyist) and knows how to automate this task. I'll explain what i've already...

Recently I wanted to add some additional shared storage in the lab. I also noticed that post-Las Vegas shutdown I had tons of Pliant/ Sandisk Lightning SLC SAS drives. I decided to see what I had in the spare parts bin to build a new storage setup for the lab. Head Node Intel S2600GZ system w/...

Hey Guys I was thinking if anyone in this forum might answer me couple of things i don´t know the answers to myself. 1) I know you can run ZFS on a virtual machine if you do PCI passthrough (with LSI controller with the 2008 chipset). But i´m wondering who provides a good service running ZFS...

i got freenas running on a 2 vcpu 8gb vm on esxi with passthrough to the intel sata ports (2x 6gbps and 4x3gbps). it currently has 4x1tb 7200rpm drives in raid10. it serves the shared datastore to my vmwre lab via iscsi. since i only got 2 extra sata ports to expand and improve the performance...

Stick with what works, or get a bit more ambitious? I have x3 Drobo 5N NAS boxes with 3TB WD Red drives in each. It amounts to about 10.8TB each. I use them exclusively for serving up media to several Kodi playback devices (bluray backsups, DVDs, music, photos, etc). Nothing fancy, not...

First some background: We're a small motion picture film scanning and restoration business. The files we work with are very large (a typical feature film will be about 5-6TB in size, roughly 45MB/Frame of film with somewhere between 120,000 and 150,000 sequentially numbered frames. Our...

One of the new series I am working on: SMB Service Provider Architecture. This is going to be: pfSense firewall/ router Proxmox VE hypervisor/ storage node (may have ESXi too) FreeNAS storage (backup and shared storage) Getting it all to work and etc. Opening this thread for feedback.

I am setting up a FreeNAS system that I want to use in a few guides. The goal is something storage oriented with low power/ costs being prioritized. Motherboard: Supermicro X10SDV-2C-TP4F CPU: Intel Pentium D1508 Case: Supermicro SC113 (8x 2.5" bay 1U) RAM: 32GB DDR4 RDIMMs (4x 8GB) Controller...

Hello I was wondering if you could assist me in picking the right parts for a good Freenas ZFS build @home. I would like the build to be as silent as possible (Want to place it in my media center space and i think mini-itx form factor would be a good choice). 6-8 Tb of space storing video...

Looking at moving from custom built NAS boxes using Supermicro hardware and FreeNAS to Synology's RackStation units. Looking to reduce the time spent messing around with supporting the FreeNAS boxes and wondering if the Synology BTRFS NAS's are as reliable and fast at snapshotting data as...

It was certainly very scary seeing the network go down, but everything seems to be back online and working well now. Disks were imported over a short (but always a bit scary) duration without issue. I did need to re-setup all of the network shares on clients as FreeNAS authentication rules are...

So I just registered, but I've been lurking for a while. Before I begin with the questions I'd like to thank all those who have contributed in the past. I've gotten quite a bit of good info! A bit over a year ago I built a FreeNAS box based on advice I read here. Here's the build: Supermicro...
