Setup my freenas server and it has been running flawlessly… thanks for everyone’s help on picking the hardware and also on the guides for how to flash the controller card!
^^Can’t stress this enough.. one of the few communities I’ve seen that will rather repeat an answer and help a person out more as opposed to just saying search for it.. it’s been asked a million times
My setup- 8x3TB’s in Z2, SUPERMICRO X10SL7-F, 16 GB EEC RAMHad
some basic questions, any answers would be appreciated-
I will be moving pretty soon and was curious how this will affect the ip of the box. I didn’t map the IP or do anything special after the initial setup. I just installed freenas and used the ip it told me to. How will I access this box when it’s plugged into my new network? Will it just be the same IP?
How important is scrubbing? My server is mostly used for storing large movie files so not much change. Is this something that should be done once a week, or just whenever a large amount of data is changed?
Also how important is a freenas backup? Does it just backup jails and plugins or does it also backup more important information that will be needed in the future?
Lastly I searched up on the 80% of space used rule and was getting mixed responses. In my case, do I need to follow this rule? If I don’t does the performance drastically decrease? Or could I lose the entire Volume and data with it?
