Hi, I'm facing a problem with 9.10 nightlies where I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is an issue with FreeNAS.... I try to use the rsyncd service for backing up data from an older FreeBSD server. Although I'm using the -a parameter when sending the data to the rsync daemon...

Hi, FreeNAS 9.10.2-U1 Currently I do (did) offsite backups from FreeNAS using rsync over SSH. I have set it up via cron (to execute a script) not rsync tasks. This is because scripting gives stuff that is not available in rsync tasks GUI anyways, like remote deletion backups shuffling (old...

Hi guys I have this crontab that rsycnc one dataset to another box, running every night. I need to know if they are completing successfully or not,, so far I enabled syslog on freenas, on "debug" level, but I still dont see any indication on syslog that the crontab fails or not. The command Im...

Hi everyone, how can I migrate each users' home from PoolA to a separate dataset in PoolB, please? I have 3 home folders in the "old" PoolA of my (Free)NAS; I'd like to migrate each of these homes to a dataset in the new PoolB on the same (Free)NAS. However, I am a bit confused on how-to. I...

Bonjour, J'aimerai savoir si la "tâche de réplication" duplique récursivement tous les répertoires ou seulement les répertoires qui ont reçu des mis à jours? A ma connaissance,le "rsync" synchronise juste les répertoires récemment modifiés non pas tous les répertoires. Merci de votre aide.

I'm getting the above on a PUSH task from FreeNAS. Both user and group exist in the appropriate system lists, so I'm at a loss to know where to start. Any thoughts most welcome. PS am new to rsync - but can't see how that could be material here!!

Hello. I have just switched from NexentaSTOR to FreeNAS and am very happy I made the switch. Much better performance and ease of use. I am using FreeNAS as iSCSI datastores for my VMware ESXi servers in my lab. I have a primary FreeNAS server running with Raid10 and a secondary FreeNAS server...

Hola a todos. Voy a utilizar FreeNAS y no se muy bien si utilizar iSCSI o SMB. Mayormente voy a utilizarlo como almacén de datos. Creo que utilizando iSCSI tendría algunas ventajas, pero tampoco se muy bien cuáles. El FreeNAS o mejor dicho los FreeNAS (porque voy a tener dos) quiero que sean...

We have two FreeNAS boxes that were previously rsynced (with no issues), as we were sending one as an offsite backup. However, the onsite box experienced issues, causing us to have to temporarily (due to not wanting a delay in business) use the offsite backup box in place. I'm currently trying...

I have two FreeNAS servers 9.10-STABLE that are syncing folders, not files. What are they: server for family photos: nas-01 server for syncing offsite: nas-02 nas-01 is sharing a windows share to allow me to dump all the family photos on nas-02 is in a data center and is used as a backup...

Hi, After reading this comment I decided to move the metadata folder of my Plex plugin (49.2GB at this moment) from the jail to a dedicated dataset outside the jail. This allows easy jail reinstallation in case of a plugin issue, which actually happened by the way, but that's another story...

I have an old droboFS that I am retiring now and replacing with a freenas server. The freenas server is up and running everything has been moved over except my backups taken with backintime from my Arch Linux box. In order to keep the integrity of the backup I have to move it with rsync. I was...

Hi, I'm having a hard time setting up rsync to push files from Freenas to a Thecus box and was hoping someone could help. Problem 1: Following the guide here: https://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_tasks.html#rsync-over-ssh-mode I created a public/private key pair under the root account...

This is continuation of this topic: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/root-user-missing-root-ssh-known_hosts.46331/ where I am giving up on trying to store public and private keys in my .ssh and instead defining a location for generated keys to connect to a server. I have a .sh file...

Hi Guys, I've been a long time user of FreeNas and finally decided to join the form today. Hello :D. I was wondering if there is an easy way to add Rsync task entries. I have googled considerably but cannot seem to find anything except this...

My root user was first missing the entire /.ssh directory, but was able to create that by adding a key from /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub via the GUI in the FreeNAS under users for root. Now the folder .ssh and authorized_keys folders are created, but, I still do not have a known_hosts folder...

Hi all, I am migrating from OpenIndiana (Yay!), so far I am impressed by how easily things are moving along. Setup was overall very easy (except the part where I didn't realize I can't just boot from the Installation USB and I need another one to install onto. The installation process was not...
