FreeNAS new pool on SSD error

[to3k]

Hi,
I have an issue on my brand new FreeNAS server. While trying to make a pool on my SATA3 SSD drive, I have received this error.

Command '('swapoff', '/dev/mirror/swap0.eli')' returned non-zero exit status 1.
Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

PLEASE help, my configuration is:
- motherboard Mini ITX Sapphire Pure White Fusion e350 (with AMD proc) https://osworld.pl/sapphire-pure-white-fusion-e350-miniitx-z-apu/
- ram 2GB Samsung 1066Mhz DDR3
- SSD GoodRAM CL100 480GB SATA3

ram 2GB Samsung 1066Mhz DDR3

The minimum recommended RAM for FreeNAS is 8GB. I would have to assume that the very act of trying to create a pool is enough to push your system into swapping, to a device that doesn't exist.

I saw that 8GB of RAM is a recommended amount, but I assume that this might be not funny joke... Who needs 8gigs in a home NAS server?! I guess I would need to buy some more RAM...

One more question:
Is amount of RAM is a problem why creating pool on classic HDD went well?

It seems like adding RAM to 8GB solved this problem. There were some errors during pool creating but at the end pool was created successfully.
