Hi there, I'm working on my first NAS that I gonna build in a near future and I'm looking at the hardware recommandations in this forum and on the web. It looks like most of the time, high-end, "enterprise level", expensive, hardware is recommanded. But as I said I'm looking for something for...

My freenas system is a super micro board, 32 gigs ECC memory. 12 x 2tb drives. I used to have it configured with 4 x 3 raidz vdevs. I was very weary of the chance of 2 disks going down would wreck everything. So I redid my config and made a BIG mistake. I moved everything off and...

Basically I ended up installing a brand new 11.2u4.1. It didn't show my disks. I had to unplug my disks boot up then shutdown. Plug in my disks boot up and then I was able to import my pool. On the dashboard it shows my disks, but says disk details not available. When I look under...

I am purchasing an HP DL380g8 with 12 drive bays. I want to start off by doing a raidZ2 with 4 drives, then have the ability to add a single drive to the pool for space, not caring about having additional redundancy. Is it possible to create a raidZ2 pool with 4 drives, and just add drives to...

Hi all, I've been using FreeNAS on an old work PC for some years now with little trouble apart from the odd death of a HDD. However I will say my knowledge of FreeNAS has only ever been just enough to get it to work. Recently, after I had moved a different PC and made some cabling adjustments...
