Proposed FreeNAS Build

[Ericloewe]

Another noob-ish request...can someone direct me to a good walkthrough on setting up a scrub of the boot disk?
I followed someone's general setup, which included a boot scrub, but it's been 3 months now and I've noticed that
the boot disk has not been scrubbed. Thought I had it set to 35 days...Putzing around I ran one manually last week... View attachment 20382

There is no tutorial. It should just run every n days, with n being defined by that little field in your screenshot. If it isn't, something's wrong. Try setting the value to something smaller and let's see what happens (7 days sounds good for USB).

By the way, do yourself and everyone else a favor and use PNG for screenshots. Jpeg compression is less-than-ideal for pretty much any user interface. PNG is lossless and will save space in these cases, saving everyone bandwidth and minimizing storage requirements for iX.
(I actually tried to replicate this screenshot in PNG and got ~half the size with some more text)

Edited previous post w/ png and deleted the jpg.

Not sure if it matters, but this is an SSD not a USB boot drive.
I'll set to 7 days and see what happens.

No, it has nothing to do with the underlying interface.

How's your new build?

Opened up 9.10 w/ the old drives connected.
Attempted to import the volume.
Step1 recognizes my volume...when I click OK for Step2 in the GUI,
the display on my FreeNAS box which usually shows the Console setup screen starts whizzing by full screens of text
so fast I can't read anything (I was assuming this was some kind of data import/copy process). After a minute or so of that
the box reboots (looks like maybe some hex flying by) and then I was able to read one line "stopped by CPU2". Reboots and when i get back into the GUI there is a message on the Storage tab "sorry, an error occured"

I'm thinking my drives are unrecoverable and I should just move on.

I'm sad about the lost data, but I got most of my stuff in a backup drive and in the cloud...

Hi tdm,

I have the same error when trying to import my pool (stopped CPU 2). Could you explain how you fixed this? I looked through this thread but don't see what you did. I'm tyring to save my data.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Could that be the reason the scrub shows 0h 0m, because the scrub took less than 1 minute?

Absolutely. The duration of the scrub is based on the amount of data because it only scrubs the data and ignores the 'free' space.

How's your new build?

Wow, missed this one by a couple months.
Chugging along w/o issue. Up for several months straight, only "hiccup" was my son was climbing over it to get a ball that went behind it
and accidentally shut it off.

I have yet to test the streaming capabilities on more than one at a time...

Really happy with the time/money I invested and couldn't have done it w/o your help (and everyone else's!).

I tried to troubleshoot on the board here w/ others.
People would say things like "That doesn't sound good" or "That isn't a good sign".


I had the comfort of data redundancy, though I did lose a few months worth of pictures.
You can check with the true Guru's if you have stuff that you REALLY want to get back.
I won't be of much help though, for me it all came down to building a whole new box.

So, I recently changed my 2 Wifi router network to a Google OnHub (TP-Link) and a Google Wifi puck using the "mesh".
For the many months prior to that, once I had gotten everything set up network wise, everything worked like a charm.
I followed Fester's and a few other people's setup info. Had Plex working w/o issues.

Router IP 192.168.0.1
DHCP Address Pool 192.168.0.100 thru 192.168.0.149

Once I changed to the OnHub, I went into settings and tried to mirror those same reservations.
However, I have had some issues with getting the Plex app to work and I noticed that in the
"Plugins>Available" I get a message "No entry has been found", which appears to be a network connectivity issue.

I tried changing the Nameservers (previously had 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) but now trying my router and google...

Code:

Name IPv4 Address IPv6 Address
igb0 192.168.0.8/24
Nameserver
192.168.0.1
8.8.8.8
Default route
192.168.0.1

Researched a bit and what I'm seeing is it may be some kind of connectivity/network issue.

I tried pinging my router and Google (8.8.8.8) and get this:
