I'm giving FreeNAS another chance and can get it to install on bare metal.
For my testing I'm using an X8 fat twin, each node currently has:
E5640
6x4GB DIMMs
4x2TB HGST NAS
2x 300GB S3500 SSDs.
The HBA is the intel chipset in AHCI
I think its a good setup for testing
however when I booted from a install disk I clicked through and when I try to install to the 32GB samsung fit or the 16GB lexar they give the following:
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
2097152 bytes transferred in .0141583 secs (speed)
dd: /dev/da0: end of device
3+0 records in
3+0 records out
2097152 bytes transferred in .0141583 secs (speed)
da0 created
da0p1 added
da0p2 added
gmirror: invalid class name.
da0 destroyed
da0p1 added
da0p2 added
active set on da0
cannot create freenas-boot': pool already exists
the freenas installation on da0 ha failed. please press enter to continue....
then it goes back to the first menu asking if i want to install or drop to shell ETC
thoughts?
