[noob]
Loaded 8.3 from a usb got things going, figured out IE didn't support Gui very well.
Switched to a non IE GUI.
Have 4 * 1 tb wd greens. Plus one ssd drive.
System sees all of them.
Could not from the gui make a UFS raid 10.
SO tried a simple ufs on the ssd standalone no problem made the raid used the gui and made the iscsi target and connected it to windows yay!
Go back to command line make a raid 1 and a second raid 1 both with same name.
did a gmirror status at cli all was complete.
Gui didn't see anything. ( did I need to use newfs here for the gui to see them?)
Back to command line
Make a gstripe from the two raid 1's no problem
gstripe status all is well
newfs and made a filesystem
Check again all is well.
Mount drive. in command line it sees it, gui still doesn't see it and it throws an error if I try to import the drives. Also cant use it for Iscsi target, also tried to make target by modifying istgt.conf no luck cant figure it out.
Am I doing something unsupported or just noobishness stopping me? ( you know lack of experience at doing this.)
Or is something I need to do in raw FreeBSD?
Or is something I should get a hardware raid controller for and just present it to the freenas?
I would use zfs but others are convincing me for large oracle work from a solaris box I need to have a raid 10. Thanks for your advice.
