In other words, please stop double & triple posting... if you need to repost or reply to someone else once you've already posted, and someone else hasn't posted since your last post, click the Edit link next to the time of your post.
I've never run into this particular convention before, I'm afraid. Let me see if I've got this right. You would have people who are responding to three separate posts...
- Respond to post 1.
- Copy the raw post with QUOTE tags.
- Paste this text somewhere temporarily.
- Cancel their response to post 1.
- Respond to post 2.
- Copy the raw post with QUOTE tags.
- Cancel their response to post 2.
- Paste this text after post 1 and copy it all together.
- Respond to post 3.
- Paste the text copied above before the text in post three.
- Insert their answers.
- Send this post.
And all this to save readers from spending
hundreds of milliseconds scrolling past the extra padding, headers and footers that three individual posts would generate?
Surely you jest!
Then it's an issue with the USB drives you're installing to or the media your booting the installer from.
You forgot to include an argument, reasoning or anything else that would support this conclusion. But I'll save you the trouble -- my next step was to install the version of FreeNAS I'm currently using on this same USB stick (the second one that the nightly build failed on, by the way). And... here I am with a working install.
Ergo, the nightly has a regression.
Don't get me wrong -- in the short time I've been using FreeNAS, I've been very impressed by it! I tried nas4free before this, and it was a nightmare compared to FreeNAS -- it has scant, godawful documentation, most of which was made for versions from several years ago; a miniscule user community; the single worst system for setting up storage that I have
ever seen (I felt like I was navigating a maze in the dark!); a broken SSH implementation that pretty much no one can get to accept password-free logins with an RSA key (and whose documentation would have users clobber any pre-existing SSH keys with a new one and then send their
private key to the server, for God's sake!); and so on and so forth. So I'm absolutely
loving FreeNAS.
But let's not pretend it's perfect, of that every problem people have with it is either user or hardware error.
