Hello all, My N40L FreeNAS had sat idle for about 18 months I recently decided to upgrade the storage which went fine and I then copied data from my older 2TB [N36L] setup onto the larger combined unit. I then discovered that the server no longer listed under Windows 10 Network [suspect this...

I am using FreeNAS-11.2-U6 on a Dell Optiplex 3010, 16GB RAM, connected/configured to our domain, 2x500GB RAID 0 as my main storage array and share. I made root the owner and applied the Share group to the root of the dataset recursively. I created a user, set a password, and made that user...

I'm trying to figure out a way to manage having many SMB3 shares mounted to Windows 10 workstations. Windows seems to privilege "letter" mappings with some important features that it does not afford to symbolic links on the NTFS boot drive. I have a handful of Windows 10 1903 workstations...

Hello All, I recently migrated a pair of zvol’s from one FreeNAS machine to another. I have copied the iSCSI configuration screens side by side to ensure they are correct. At this time it appears I am able to connect and establish the iSCSI path but no devices will pass through. My intent is to...

Hi Everyone I recently decided to switch from hosting Plex in a VM on ESXi 6.5 to bare metal so I can try to eliminate a virtualization layer. Also, I have read that a virtualized Freenas is never a good idea-- though I ran it quite well for 3+ years and never lost any data. Either way, I...

I have a FreeNAS set up that holds 5 folders. One of the folders has subfolders but the files inside are no longer available. This happened after I switched off Windows Offline sync feature. Why did this happen and how can I recover the files? I am using Windows 10.

I don't know what the hell is going on here, i have created a Windows installation disk with Rufus, but it didn't work with the computer. As a popular tool, it shouldn't happen like this .

Hi guys, me again, i need an advice, what is the best option to auto backup like 7 Windows pc's on a FreeNAS Server (running 11.2), i just install the backup pc plugin and bru server, but i dont know how to configure it, so i decide to use a program on each PC to do the backup on the NAS, what...

Our system we had dedicated to FreeNas install had moboard die before we got any real use of it, and we won't be upgrading the board, but we have these 4 great drives we'd like to use in Windows/Mac systems. Any advice / utility that will convert the freenas drives to a windows-usable state?

My name is Flavio. I had successfully implemented a freenas server(FreeNAS-11.1-U4) in my office and the access to it was possible from any machine with any OS. Everything worked perfeclty. After the new update in windows 10 version 1709, the smb share stopped being visible in the machines...

Hello all, I am trying to setup FreeNAS v.11 on one my spare system which has only one HDD of 1TB. What I want to do is create few datasets on the mounted volume and share each dataset with different user group with appropriate access rights. So far I have done following: setup FreeNAS on...

TLDR: has anyone ever seen windows explorer slow a transfer because it was trying to update the directory listing (or something similar) after every file transferred? Today I was moving 21000+ small files for a total of 14gig, half way through the transfer it slowed to below 1MB/s after...

Hello everyone, I am finally trying out VMs in FreeNAS, because I want to go away from having multiple computers for doing stuff... The installation was quite smooth albeit slow, I have used the latest ISO from windows via their Media Creation tool. Directly after the installation I installed...

I have the simplest of configurations as I have moved my server onto a network of 2 machines. 1. My Laptop and 2. the NAS box. There is no gateway or connection to the outside world. I updated to 11.0 assigned static IP addresses, and I can pull up the FreeNAS GUI on my Chrome browser. The GUI...

First post on here, sorry if this has already been answered. We have a Windows env and SMB shares through our network. On one of those shares, using a Windows 10 machine, I added a FreeNAS user to have full permissions on a folder. Despite them showing up in the 'Security' tab as having full...

Hi, I've just upgraded to FN11, really like this version and am wanting to use the VM features to host a Windows 10 VM. I have two FN 11 installs both based on HP Microservers, The 'test' install of FN 11 is running on slightly 'Older' hardware than my 'Production' NAS. I installed a Windows...

I have been trying numerous how-to guides to connect to my FreeNAS-9.10.2-U3 server from my Windows 10 Home PC. I can see the server in the listed Network locations on the file browser in the windows 10 client, and trying to access the server named "NAS" brings up the Windows Security "Enter...

I'm using FreeNAS 11.0-U2 on good hardware (SM, ECC, Xeon v3), clean installed at 9.10.2, never modded outside the GUI, and nothing running except basics (SMB, SSH, iSCSI). The SMB clients are mostly Windows. From my desktop, there's a laptop and the server, both offering file shares. I can...

Salve ragazzi, ho installato FreeNAS Corral, (mi sono innamorato della sua interfaccia, dei PlugIn installati tramite Docker, ma sopratutto della facilita per creare macchine virtuali) e non riesco ad installare Windows 10, succede questo: Avvio la macchina virtuale Premo il tasto per leggere...

As it says in title, I wonder what software are recommended to use at the Windows 10 platform to do automatic backups to the FreeNAS server. Is it possible to set it and forget it, and then have a similar service as the Apple's time machine? I am talking about if it is possible to having it...

Am I insane for thinking this might be a good idea? I am currently using a VHD encrypted with BitLocker but I am considering moving this to the network. Would iSCSI provide better performance vs SMB? How about snapshots? I haven't tested anything so I was more just throwing it out there. The...

Hi there. I'm not sure where this question(s) should go, so I am throwing it here. I am unable to access my FreeNAS directory from my Windows 10 PC. I am an experienced windows user, but incredibly new to Unix, so I am going to give as much information as possible so all of you can tell me...

So I want to see if the following is possible: Build a server, a nice monster Install video cards (2-way sli) Install FreeNAS (duh!) Create Win10 VM to run simultaneously inside FreeNAS. Continuously active. Install games to the VM, and run/play these games only using the server's hardware...
