We had an extended power outage last night, when our NAS Came back up it works on and off. For instance when you ping it replies once and maybe twice then times out. The file share works for a bit and then doesn't, so I thought IP Conflict but nope. So not sure why this is happening but the...

I was having trouble mounting hard drives from my proxmox server to my freeNAS server. I was getting some permission issues and it looked like adding no_root_squash in /etc/exports would fix it (temporary). After making the changes I rebooted from the GUI and almost an hour later it has still...

Hello, I want to buy/build a NAS by myself, therefore I need some advise. First, I wanted to buy the ASRock J5005, but it's not available in Germany.... Should I wait until it's available again or should I buy another board (J4205 or J4105)? The NAS should have WOL, min. 4x SATA and should...

Hey, I have been looking for a good NAS solution for some time now. And I think I finally found the best thing for me. I got this mini lenovo desktop PC with an i5 and 8gb ram, that should be more than enough power for a plex server. But.. The thing is the size of a HDD, so there won't be any...

Hello, I'm new to this forum but very interested in building my own NAS. At the moment I own two NAS devices, Qnap TS419-PII (12TB) and TS-210 (4TB). Because I noticed my 419-PII is getting slow as media server I'm looking for a replacement. My 419-PII is a VPN client (anonymous access to...

All, thanks in advance for your help. I have used FreeNAS for many years. My builds have always been hardware that is laying around rather than purchased on purpose for the task at hand. I am sure I have a non-efficient solution, but it hits the spot that I need and it makes me feel good to...

I am new with FreeNAS but not new in enterprise storage both NAS and SAN. My partner is selling used IT equipment such as x86 server, storage, network switch and so on. I want to add value of FreeNAS on used server and storage.

I really enjoy building FreeNAS systems, and have put together quite a few machines, for for myself, for fun, and for friends/fam. After initial trial-and-error, all builds are now similar: SuperMicro board, one or two Dell or IBM controllers as LSI 9211-8i in IT mode, and a couple of hard...

Hi, I'm planning to build my first NAS. I plan to have 2 disks in RAID configuration for redundancy. This is for my critical data. Apart from this, I also plan to have ONE more disk, but without redundancy. This is for my non-critical data. Is it possible to have the above configuration...

Hi, I'm planning to build my first NAS. I have a simple APC UPS but it does not have USB port. I don't have money to spend on APC UPS with power outage notification. I plan to build my own power outage detection (may be using Arduino) with serial connection to FreeNAS PC. I'm planning to run...

Hi everybody, I'm sorry for my english, it's not my first language. I know that it sounds weird but I had to "transform" my gaming rig in a NAS until I got money to buy "real freenas hardware". I removed the graphics card, put in some HDDs, and now I got a i7 4770k, 8 GB RAM, 5 HDDs and a...

Hi there, I've been tasked with completely overhauling our NAS system at work, even though I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to this kind if thing. It must be the fact that I occasionally build new PCs whenever needed that led my boss to believe I was the right guy for the job. All...
