Problem creating Home Directory

[Bob Goodwin]

I have re-installed Freenas replacing 9.2.1.3 with 9.2.1.7. Before wiping everything clean and starting over I always had a directory /mnt/nasdata/ that would show up when I clicked on the Browse tab in the add user GUI. I no longer see that or anything but "/" in that window and I don't remember how that was created in the first Freenas install. I can't enter it there either. It just protests about not having a "mount point" when I try to save the added user. As a result I can't get beyond that point in configuring via the GUI.

I have moved the data I want to save to my NFS server and I believe I have wiped the data storage disks [mirrored] clean.

The computers run Fedora 64 bit Linux and I have selected UFS.

Any help appreciated,

Bob.

How your volume was created (is it a UFS mirror, single UFS disk)?
Is your volume accessible via the CLI? (i.e. cd /mnt/nasdata)

Post the following:

• Hardware specs
• Error messages from /var/log/messages
• output of "df -ah"
• output of "dmesg"

 

[Bob Goodwin]

The server runs scientific linux, an AMD procesor with 8g of ram. I can't even ssh into presently to get the spec's. The only connection to the server is via the Freenas browser.

From the GUI shell:
[root@freenas ~]# df -ah

Dmesg but I think I am losing the first few lines in copy/paste:

I'm a bit confused. I was asking for the specs of your FreeNAS server. What do you mean by "wiping everything and starting over"?
Have you tried importing the UFS volume? http://olddoc.freenas.org/index.php/Volumes#Importing_Volumes

For the last six months I've had a Freenas server that ran well but I decided to manipulate the dirctories from my linux file manager. When I found that would not work I tried to restore what I had before via the file manager, things got worse!

I decided to reinstall the Freenas stuff. I saved the files to my nfs server and I think I cleaned everything out of the old Freenas and now I am re-installing the server with a later version. It seems that should be simple enough but I am having problems.

As I said the only LAN connection to the server is via the Freenas GUI. I set the ssh service to ON but it rejects my password, although the password works to run the GUI from the browser?

From the Freenas GUI:
System Information
Hostname freenas.local
Build FreeNAS-9.2.1.7-RELEASE-x64 (fdbe9a0)
Platform AMD E-350 Processor
Memory 7784MB

Have you enabled "login as root with password" in the SSH settings? You may also need to enable password authentication.

 

[Bob Goodwin]

"Have you enabled "login as root with password" in the SSH settings? You may also need to enable password authentication."

Where do I find these settings? I've gone through the GUI set-up screen a couple of times and don't see them, thought it might be under "services" but if it is I am missing it.

I also connected a keyboard and monitor to the server, all that offers is item 7 which forces a rest of the webgui password. I dunno why I'm having so much trouble, last spring I was able to get Freenas running on two different boxes with a lot less difficulty!

Can it be something remaining on the hardrives. If nothing else, I can install Fedora 20 and wipe them clean and start over. I would like to get this working ...

Thanks

Bob

Services --> SSH

 

[Bob Goodwin]

I did not realize there is a menu under the wrench icon? Duh!

Ok, so now I can ssh into the server. Need to see what else I can do under "Services."
Thank you.

 

[Bob Goodwin]

However although I can ssh into the server 192.168.1.48, I can not mount it:

[root@box7 bobg]# mount 192.168.1.48:/mnt/nasdata/bobg /mnt/box48/

mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.48:/mnt/nasdata/bobg

I can't configure Freenas until it is mounted. Access denied by server would seem to make it a Freenas problem?

Or is there something wrong with my mount command?

I have the line:
192.168.1.48:/mnt/nasdata/bobg /mnt/box48/ nfs default 0 0
in /etc/fstab. And that has always worked until now.

I still do not have a working Freenas server. Yesterday I tried installing 9.3b, gave up on that as an even bigger effort.
I then removed the 9.3b thumb drive and plugged in one with 9.2.1.8. That almost works, except for ssh, without which I can't load my data into the server. Trying to access from either of two Fedora boxes, F-20 and F-21a, produces the same result:

[root@box10 bobg]# ssh bobg@192.168.1.48
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Can anyone tell me how to correct this?
