Hi, I have a freenas system running 11.1-U7, it has 4 volumes, each volume is created from dedicated disks using raid-z2 with an additional spare per pool. A disk failed in one volume, I identified the disk and the serial number, shutdown the system, replaced the failed disk and when it turned...

Hello, So I have 3 500gb drives in my system. All of the drives showed up as they are supposed to, but when I added them to a pool, the total size went down to 900gb instead of 1.5tb. What happened to the rest of the storage? Thanks, -Josh

We configured a Freenas version 11.2-U5 on a DL380 Gen9, Storage D-Link DSN-4000 with 16 4TB RAID 5 + 0 disks so 50TB is available to create a pool, but does not appear on Freenas system and when using the command df -lh show me 11TB size in / var folder can help me?

I've been having an odd problem with my FreeNAS setup. I've been having files getting zeroed out. Filename is there and it's in the right place. Modification times look correct, but the files with just be zero size and I'm not able to do anything with them. Has anyone seen anything like this...

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...

FreeNAS 11.1-U7 Cannot import encrypted volume The story goes: I'm running a 4 disk (3TB each) RAIDZ2 configuration & I was replacing an overheating disk. Shut the system down, removed the disk, put a new one in, and restarted. It's a little vague right now, as it was a couple of days ago, but...

I've got Resilio Sync plugin installed, and i've added 2 mount points (both from different datasets). Getting the permissions right on freenas is frustrating beyond anything I can explain. I've been using freenas for like 8 years now and still want to break something every time I go to do...

How about, I have a problem with my freenas, to which I have set several periodic tasks for the copies, but I see that these are not executed, I have them well configured, but I do not know what can be missing, or case it will be some problem with the software freenas?

Greetings ! So i tried my Luck with FreeNAs. Watched Tutorial, looked at the Maunal and google... But i can't get the System to show up. Not under Network, neither can't i map it as a network Drive under Windows 10. I setup the SMB Share in FreeNAS. The Windows Network Discovery is enabled too...

All I see is Amazon S3 so Amazon S3 Glacier isn't supported? Does anyone have glacier working or can provide some help so I can get mine working? Thanks.

Hello, I currently have a zpool with one vdev made up of four large HDDs setup in RaidZ1. The system has four additional SAS connections that I am not currently using, and what I'd ideally like to do is expand the system by giving it an extra four drives of the same and make it into a RaidZ2.

So pretty much as the title asks, how can I tell if my system supports hot-swappable drives? What are the hardware components that I need to check to see if it's supported? This is my current system: Intel - Xeon E3-1230 V5 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM...

Hi All, newbie here. I've managed to install zoneminder plugin through Freenas web GUI, added my cameras and I can see events triggered by motion. However I have the jail in a separate SSD so I assume all video clips are getting recorded somewhere in my SSD. I have a separate volume where I...

I searched the forums, and haven't come up with an answer that makes sense. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I just created a new RAIDZ1-0 array of 4 6TB disks. I expected the total available space to be about 6TB x 3 disks = 18TB (one drive for parity, aka RAID5). Sure...

Hi Read the guides, followed a bunch of tutorials but everything seems to deal with a from scratch setup with new disks, etc. I am upgrading from 9.3 and I have two mirrored RAID disks that contain all my media and backups. Since they total over 2 TB simply moving them off to another storage...

Hi all, I'm an absolute rookie so apologies if I annoy anyone trying to help. I have Freenas installed on a Hp Microserver and I use it simply to back-up all my media. My girlfriend now wants to do this as well with some of her design work so I installed a couple of new drives (WD red) and...

Hi All, This may have been asked before so forgive me if it has. I am fairly new to freenas so be gentle. I have a server that has 4 x 4tb WD Reds set up in RaidZ2 (usuable 7tb) and I'm running out of space (roughly 2tb left). Given the amount of time it has taken me to fill up 5tb im sure it...

Hi, I've been using my freenas for a number of years now. Unfortunately, that amount of time doesn't translate to my level of experience, or my knowledge of the system i've built. I tend to "set and forget" and when an issue arises, I do my best to educate myself in order to repair the current...

Hello all. After browsing the forums for quite some time, i can't find a good answer to my questions. I hope someone can help me :) FreeNAS 11 or just use Windows 10 with shared folders? At the moment i'm using a WD My cloud Mirror gen 1 NAS system, but its very slow so Plex server app is a...

Hi all, I don't seem to find how to unlock my encrypted pool from the new GUI. After an accidental upgrade from 11.1-Stable to 11.2 my encrypted pool won't unlock. With the most likely cause being that the right key was not backed up. BUT this is not the issue I want to raise. I struggled to...

Hello community, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off let me thank you all. I work on video production. We have a studio in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've set up the FreeNAS 6 months a go (before we had just a basic...

Hello, I am unsure how I should formulate the zfs send zfs receive command to replicate all data from my main FreeNAS box(Freenas1) to a new temporary FreeNAS box(Freenas2). Here's the information I believe is relevant: Freenas1 has the pool name Volume1 with a primary dataset named Volume1...

Hello. I currently have an hp microserver g8 equipped with a 1265L and 16GB of ram. (I intend to buy a motherboard for this CPU/RAM combo so I can place my rig in a define r5 or a rack case, but cannot afford this right now) My current storage config is 3 WD red 2TB's in raidz1. for about 3.6TB...

Hi! I am planning to have a mirror of 6TB HDDs for user data plus a pre-backup pool plus two spare SATA ports for external disks backup. I am planning to encrypt my data. Boot planned: mirrored pendrives/sd cards. I've read a bit about risk related to encrypting and I am not very happy :/...

Hi, I don't know what to do here. I'm not sure if the pool is missing a disk or if something else is going on. I should have a total of 9 disks, I think. 8xHDDs (4 per zpool), plus one SATA Flash boot drive (came with FreeNAS Mini XL). I just set up my new FreeNAS Mini XL (diskless), by moving...

I have a raidz2 that I've had to replace a couple disks on. It consists of 8 6TB drives. That stuff all looks okay to me, but under the storage tab it shows that I'm using 29.2 TB and 14.3 TB free (43.5 TB total). FreeNAS says that a 6 TB drive yields about 5.46 TB. At 8 drives that...

Sometimes when writing things to disk, such as copying between locations in the ZFS volume, or moving items across the network, starting a new disk write, such as saving a new file, will interrupt other processes either locally or remotely that are also writing files, causing them to fail. If I...

I have been running FreeNAS for awhile and, inevitably, drives die. I have a Lenovo ThinkServer with a LSI card (no BIOS, non-RAID mode) connected to my 8 drives. I, of course, can tell that, for example, da7 just died, but I cannot tell which drive is actually da7 as it looks like FreeNAS has...

I have one volume I've named 'D' I have two disks in this volume, one 1TB HDD, and one 2TB HDD. My data takes up 1.6TB. I started with the 1TB HDD as that was what I had at the time, then I bought the 2TB HDD, and added to the system a month later for more storage. Now I'm realizing the error...
