Hi.
this weekend I successfully did a dd of freenas to a spare harddrive for my proliant. Its been going well until I found that there were only 4 plugins available none of which were plex, the primary purpose of the nas.
I soon realised I had installed the 32bit version and apparently plex needs the 64 bit.
Correct me if I am wrong but my assumption is the file systems are created on the raid so it should just be a case of wiping the original disk and putting 64 bit on.
But for the life of me in OSX mavericks, dd of this 64bit version to the very same wiped drive does not work.
When put in the proliant it soon just comes up with 'this is a NAS files system and cannot boot' indicating it has not seen the boot drive at all and gone straight to the raid.
So any ideas why DD works great for the 32bit but not for the 64bit and is there anything I can do?
