Hi all,
Thank you in advance for your help. I am first time user (48hrs into it!) of FreeNAS. I am upgrading my system with the Adaptec and have decided to move off Ubuntu for the first time in 4 years.
My Hardware:
Gigabyte ga-h55m-s2h - i5 2.6GHz - latest firmware (F7)
8MB RAM
10x WD Re 4TB HDDs (enterprise, RAID)
1x 500GB WD Blue (IDE) for FreeNas / OS install - single install of FreeNas 9.2.1.5 loaded
USB CD-ROM (installed from here)
Adaptec 71605E running in HBA mode (JBOD) - latest firmware
I first installed Ubuntu 14.04, and got all drives visible. Built SW RAID 6 array but while it was building I started doing some research and found FreeNAS / ZFS. I decided to go down this path as it is a better solution to what I need. So this is where the fun began!
Upon initial installation I ran into issues with the system. It would not complete booting and would finish up with an error 19, which I resolved with help from this forum entry.
So now I can access the NAS via the browser console (LOOKS AWESOME!), but the 10 drives do not appear.
I then tried following instructions from here and downloaded Adaptec FreeBSD drivers and installed the package from the console via USB stick, but I cannot get it working as I end up with "unable to extract table of contents, not a package?". In the console I run the command below which returns the error:
I am far from an UBUNTU / Linux specialist! But I am stuck at not being able to load the driver set. Will this make the drives visible to the OS when they are set up as JBOD (so no RAID)?
Many thanks!
