Hello,
I successfully installed and configured the latest FreeNas yesterday using
CIFS. Due to slow transfer rates, I wanted to change to ZFS. I'm kind of
a noob, and in my brilliant logic, decided to reinstall FreeNas. After
multiple errors (relating to ata2 ??), and several hours, I was able to
re-install and start again. (Real classy things I had to do to get around
multiple hang ups included attempting to load freenas on a usb drive and
finally loading nas4free, which i don't like but was able to get working,
in order to reformat the drives.) This morning, I was in the middle of
formatting the volume as ZFS mirror when it completely locked up.
System information:
Mobo: ASUS P5G41-M LE
CPU: Core-2 Duo 2.93
RAM: 2 GB DDR2 at 667 (planning to upgrade soon)
HDDS: 1x 250GB (OS installed here. Yeah I know.)
2x 2TB Caviar Blacks
Gameplan:
Initially create a ZFS mirror pool with the 2x 2TBs, then purchase 2 more
hdds (and 8GB ram?? maybe only 4 if able due to $). Then configure in a
raid 10.
What's happening now:
When I restart the system, it freezes and I get the following when it's
done trying to start
"cdo: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not
present. Trying to mount root from ufs://devufs/FreeNASs1a.
BOOT MOUNT ERROR:
If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the
following from the loader prompt: set vfs.root.mountfrom.options-rw and
then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab.
Loader variable:
vfs.root.mountfrom-ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a
vfs.root.mountfrom.options-ro ..."
I have a video of the entire startup process, and it seems like there's
errors with ATA2 (not sure what that means).
Any help would be very much appreciated.
