Hi guys.
I've had Freenas running fine for a good few months now, probably the best part of a year.
Recently, though, it's been dropping off the network with no warning, in the middle of streaming an avi file typically.
As it stands, I'm running it on a Gigabyte Dq6 with 8gb of RAM, three 2 port SATA cards, and ten 1tb drives in a ZFS pool.
I believe there's an issue with the power supply, but I cannot believe that it's keeping the machine up and running, yet managing to knock the network out.
When FreeNAS does report an error, it's "PHY Write failed", but that's only reported one out of five times it goes down. It goes down, on average, once every two or three hours. It's a very basic setup, literally the network ports are configured (Static on one, DHCP (MAC assigned from the router) on the other two) and the admin account has a password. CIFS shares are enabled with anonymous access, although that has (The most recent reboot) stopped allowing me to write to the share.
At this stage, I'm thinking of backing the data up (Not something I want to do, considering there's 5.2tb on there) and moving to WHS - But I don't know much about FreeNAS/BSD, so I figured I'd ask the people who do use it if they had seen it before - Apparently google hasn't!
Anyone seen FreeNAS (Both 8.0.2 and the 8.3 beta) drop the network without error messages before?
