Freenas hangs during any data transfers to the NAS

[frazreid]

Hi All

I am a n00b when it comes to anything other than Cisco - so take it easy please.

I got a freenas running just now with a

Intel Desktop Board D525MW
2x2Gb 1333 DDR3
and just one 1Tb Sata Drive

My problem ius when I try to start a long transfer (a folder with loads of files in it)

the data transfer starts and gets up to about 70mBit/s....then after a few minutes - all Stop !

the NAS is no longer reachable - Reboot the NAS and all is well again......

Any Tips ?

Hi Fraser,

This is a pretty common problem so you should have found something if you searched.

You didn't mention what version of FreeNAS you have installed, but like me and a lot of other people I'll bet you installed the i386 version. The AMD64 version is actually for Intel 64-bit processors as well, which you have. If you made that mistake, give the AMD64 version a try and you should have better results.

@Frazreid: Try connecting a monitor/screen to your FreeNAS server and keep an eye on the console output. If the server is crashing you should see something there which might help diagnose the problem.

that is what I wil have to do now cos even after changing a few settings that ave been suggested for the AMD64 Version loader.....it has still crashed/hung....I'll get back to you guys again....

Thanks so far.....
