[PROBLEM] FreeNAS recognizes only 3302MB of RAM

mskenderian — Sat, 25 May 2013 01:13:58 GMT

I installed 2Gb of ram two days ago. today i got another 2Gb of ram.
Now i have 4x1GB sticks of RAM. The mobo supports only 4GB.

In the Bios, the system sees all 4GB, but in freenas it shows 3302MB.

Any suggestions?

ZFS Autoexpand only sort of worked not all space available

Fpmurphy — Fri, 24 May 2013 22:54:38 GMT

I have a RaidZ2 storage pool (named media) with 6 disks of different sizes. The smallest of which is now a 1TB drive.

I recently upgraded three 500GB drives to 3 1TB drives. Before I started switching drives, I set autoexpand=on. My storage pool had 1.60TB available before the switch. I've moved up to a grand total of 1.96TB available according zfs list.

Code:

This is my second box running zfs. I followed the same process I used with the first one.

I should have at least over 2 TB of space. Am I missing something?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is ZFS on Linux running on Ubuntu. I just can't find a community specific to ZFS on Linux as helpful as this one. (My other box is running FreeNAS 8.3.1)

Please any help would be great.

[QUESTION] First FreeNAS Setup

mskenderian — Fri, 24 May 2013 20:55:22 GMT

Hello all,

Iam new to freenas, only learning about it after setting up my pfSense box. loving FreeBSD.... So last week. I set up an old comp as a my new file server. Its a P4, with 1GB of ram. it has two sata I ports and a 10/100 network card, a 160GB sata I hard drive, a SATA II controller, two 2TB WD RED HD, and a gigabit network card. I setup a UFS mirror on the two 2TB HD, and used rsync to move my files from my local comp to my volume on the two 2TB drives. used the 160GB HD for my plugins and somewhere for transmission to download to.

I have had no issues, except one time, FreeNAS showed only my 160GB, and couldnt find my 2x2TB WD RED mirrors. a simple restart fixed this issue. Altought the restart took forever it was being held up by something (where it point it and says what the disk frag is.) eventually it booted up.

Above is just so you know where iam coming from. i know reading other post, everyone asks for more information.

Summary of above.
P4 (not sure about cores, arch, or speed. i will get into that later.)
1 GB of ram. (Max 4 GB.)
Mobo with 2 sata I ports
PCI card with 2 sata II ports.
1 Sata I 160GB HD
2 Sata II 2TB WD Red HD
Intregrated 10/100 Network card
PCI 10/100/1000 Network card

Now for my issues........

My 160Gb is practically full. and my 2x2TB UFS Mirror is full (3MB free space). Backing up all my files to it. i didnt realize i have so many. mostly because of Media and some sql dumbs. Reading about ZFS and loving it. Specially the Snapshot features. Although i see a RAM issue. So i bought 4 GB of RAM (mobo Max.). 2 Gb already came in and i install it, i should be getting the other 2GB today. I also have a brand new 2TB WD Green that i havent used yet. so iam thinking of setting up a raidz1 with my 2x2TB Red and 1x2TB Green Drives once i get my RAM. This setup is for home use. i wont be using compression, encryption, or dedup. 1 or 2 users streaming content off of it.

1) The rule of thumb is recommended i have 1GB of RAM per 1TB of HD with a minimum of 8GB. Is that 1 GB of RAM per usable 1TB of HD or total? in another words. if i setup a raidz1 with 3x2TB of drives only 4TB is usable. do i need 4TB of RAM or do i need 6TB of RAM?

2) I thought my arch. is 64 Bit but iam not sure. i installed FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x64 (r12686+b770da6_dirty). In the GUI it shows i have Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz. but in shell. when i run " sysctl -a | egrep -i 'hw.machine|hw.model|hw.ncpu' " it shows:
hw.machine: i386
hw.model: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
hw.ncpu: 1
hw.machine_arch: i386

So one says 3.0Ghz the other 2.4GHz. also iam guessing its a 32 bit arch. Can someone help me identify the speed, arch, cores and Hyper-Threading. I also know i have Hyper-Threading. but now iam confused?
Can i run 64 bit arch on a 32 bit machine or 32 arch on a 64 bit machine?

3) When i had 1GB of RAM my free space always showed below 50MB. now that i have 2GB of Ram (and 2GB on its way), my free space is always below 100MB. What is going on? iam guessing it has to do with Inactive in the GUI -> Reporting tab. can someone explain this to me.

4) having two network cards, one 10/100 and 10/100/1000 iam only using the gigabit one. What can i do with the second network card?

5) Any other advice or considerations or reading i should do, before i build this out tonight?

Thank you for all your help in advance. and a special thank you to Cyberjock for making the PowerPoint with examples. that helped me a lot.

[QUESTION] Motherboard + CPU Replacement - Need for a Fresh Install?

edusantos — Fri, 24 May 2013 20:31:49 GMT

Hi everyone,

First, I'm very new to FreeNAS so please apologise me if I make any mistake here. I'm starting and I would appreciate any help you could provide. :) No background experience with any unix based OS as well.

Anyway, I'm currently running a FreeNAS setup.

Release:
(FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x64) in a 8GB USB Thumb Drive.

Hardware:

Quote:

Gigabyte GA-C847N
Gskill NT PC3-10700 (1333MHz) 2x8GB (16GB)
Bitfenix Prodigy Artic
Corsair CX430M
Western Digital Green WD30EZRX (3TB)
Western Digital Green WD30EZRX (3TB)
Western Digital Green WD30EZRX (3TB)
Western Digital Green WD30EZRX (3TB)

I have each pair in (software) ZFS raid 1 as follows:

Quote:

[3TB + 3TB] in raid 1 (mirror)
+
[3TB + 3TB] in raid 1 (mirror)

I'm thinking about replacing the motherboard with a new one (CPU as well as it is integrated with the motherboard), is there any need to do a fresh install of FreeNAS? If yes, how should I proceed in order to keep all my settings and raid configuration mounted + data safe?

Thank you very much!

[QUESTION] Downloading Large (3+GB) files directy to FreeNas causes dropped drive(s)

roggeheflin — Fri, 24 May 2013 19:02:30 GMT

I have FreeNas (8.3.1 P2 x64) as my storage (duh!) for iTunes. I created a hardlink on my mac in Users/Me/Music to the iTunes media directory /Server/Share. The only problem I have is when I am downloading movies/tv shows (aka large files) hard drives are dropped. I reboot the machine and all is good. Moving large files causes no errors, scrub returns no errors, etc... I have two nearly identical machines only the ram, cd configuration, and HD firm ware is different.

IBM Netfinity zPro 9228
Dual Xeon Dual Core 5150
8GB ECC FBDIMM RAM (1x8GB and 4x2GB depending on machine)
4 x Seagate Barracuda Green (Adv. Format) (2TB each) RAIDZ1 - SATA connection
- On machine A firmware is 1x 33C3, 3x CC32
- On machine B firmware is 3x 33C3, 1x CC32

(I have thought about moving drives around so the firmware is consistent for each machine, but I am weary of data loss)

How do I go about locating the root cause?

I have ordered 2 16BG SSD to use as cache... should I use 1 as ZIL and 1 as L2ARC... or 1 ZIL in both computers or 1 L2ARC in both? What about limiting the ARC cache?

Please help, Thanks!

[QUESTION] A few hardware questions

NameUnknown — Fri, 24 May 2013 16:21:33 GMT

I am looking to build a NAS for home use. I will likely be installing it into a rack as there are a couple other servers I plan on setting up as well as mounting my networking equipment. The build I was considering is this:

Case/PSU: Supermicro 2U Rackmount Server Case w/560W PSU & 8 3.5" hotswap bays - $359.99
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-HD3 FM2 - $74.99
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 750K Trinity 3.4GHz - $84.99
RAM: Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1333 CAS9 - $89.99
OS Drive: Patriot 8GB USB Flash Drive - $14.99
Storage: 8x Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB - $799.92
OS: FreeNAS of course :)

The plan is to create a redundancy within the server by creating a 6TB RaidZ1 that has snapshots taken and stored on a second 6TB RaidZ1 array. All of these drives would be installed into the hotswap bays of the case so in the case of an emergency, the arrays could be pulled out instead of having a 6TB external drive which is easy to steal. There is also a small chance that the arrays would be used as an offsite storage for members of my family as well. Given the aforementioned plan I have a few questions pertaining to the proposed build.

1. Is the CPU selected, Athlon x4 750k, overkill? Could you get by with a dual core Athlon?
2. I have read that with ZFS its best to use JBOD, does that still apply if you are only using the onboard SATA ports?
3. Given that this system is already a bit more expensive than I would have liked, do you see any way to reduce its cost?
4. Do you see any issues with the above build?

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Issues with AD

pcollins — Fri, 24 May 2013 15:58:45 GMT

Hi All

Really need some help with a issue using AD with this software. I have managed to get it to see my domain controller and and also pull a list of users.

What i am struggling with is share data. I have setup a volume called data and then created a cifs share named data. I have added permissions as shown in these two following links.

http://medicblog.net/?p=308#more-308
http://medicblog.net/?p=622

Every time i browse to the hostname i get asked for a logging details unless i am logged in as the user i have give user permissions to on the volume.

What i need to know is how can i share the volume to more then one user.

Thanks

[QUESTION] Which version of freeNAS for my needs?

II GAV II — Fri, 24 May 2013 15:50:51 GMT

Hi guys

I'm currently trying to research this on here, but wanted to post as well because I'm obsessed with this build!

Basically, I want to set up my freeNAS, once built, to be used predominantly for torrent downloads (preferably with something like Transmission & CouchPotatoe) and 1080p media streaming to a Smart TV and iPad.

Is there a particular version of freeNAS that I should use? (i.e. it's a very simple NAS for a straight forward purpose, so the simpler the install and configuration the better - especially considering I have ZERO knowledge on this stuff)

Cheers
Gav

Zugriffsprobleme in gemeinsamem Verzeichnis...

bax5000 — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:33:19 GMT

Hallo!

Mir ist leider kein konkreterer Titel eingefallen ;)

System: FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p3-x64 (11703)

Problem:
Ich habe im Netz Win7-, Linux- und OSX-Rechner. Diese haben alle Zugriff auf ein gemeinsames Server-Volume um im LAN schnell Daten austauschen zu können.
Hierzu habe ich nach Anleitung anonyme afp- und cifs-Shares angelegt.
Bei afp funktioniert das mit "nobody" und bei cifs scheinbar mit "guest".

Zugriff funktioniert soweit auch.
Es kommt allerdings hin und wieder vor, das ein Rechner seine "eigenen Dateien" nicht mehr löschen kann.
Per ssh kann ich sehen das bei den Verzeichnissen und Dateien ein wildes Durcheinander von "nobody" und "guest" bei den Eigentümer- und Gruppenangaben herscht.

In den Permissions der Freigabe ist aber sowohl für Gruppe als auch Owner jede Aktion erlaubt.
Anbei noch die wichtigen Settings auf Screenshots.

Wo liegt mein Denkfehler?

Danke!

ps: der "local access" wird für TimeMachine-Backups benötigt

HA + dropbox like

webstyler — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:29:45 GMT

Hi guys

So, try to explain what we are interesting to develop so you could help us to design a little plan

Inside our office we need a smart and fast way to :
- keep sync any folder of 10 users
- backup pc/mac data

For this we think on freenas

At the same time we would like to:
- keep data safetly outside office (for DR)
- create a dropbox like access to data (We have read this interesting thread http://forums.freenas.org/showthread...-using-freenas)

For this we think to another freenas in our DC (outside office) and think to owncloud for manage dropbox like function

All users that go out office could work on remote freenas throught owncloud portal and they mobile app

Any freenas server must sync the other as : freenas office <-> freenas DC

What do you think ? Any suggest for better design ?
if this is a right way any suggest to best configuration ?

Thanks

Problem mit Umlaut im Verzeichnissnamen

Gusmax — Fri, 24 May 2013 11:21:42 GMT

Hallo zusammen,

Ich habe mir vor ein paar Tagen mein erstes FreeNAS System gebaut, da mein altes NAS (MyBookLive) doch langsam aber sicher voll war. Nun muss ich natürlich noch die Daten vom alten NAS auf das neue übertragen. Alles über einen Client zu kopieren geht zwar auch, allerdings finde ich das nicht ganz optimal. Daher hatte ich mir das so vorgestellt, dass ich das alte NAS zuerst mounte mit mount_smbfs. Das hat auch sehr gut geklappt und ich kann über den mountpoint /mnt/mybooklive auf die Daten zugreifen.

Nun habe ich aber das Problem, dass Umlaute noch korrekt dargestellt werden. Eine Datei oder Verzeichnuss, dass einen Umlaut enthält wird in der SSH-Konsole mit ??? dargestellt. Kopiere ich die Datei nun trotzdem, wird sie auf dem dem Client nicht korrekt dargestellt.

Ich muss dazu sagen, dass wenn ich alle über den Client kopiere (MacOS) ist das kein Problem. Die Umlaute werden erhalten und auch richtig dargestellt auf beiden Seiten FreeNAS und MyBookLive.

Liegt das evtl. am Mount Befehl? Ich habe das Share eingebunden mit: mount_smbfs -I 192.168.177.52 //Username@192.168.177.52/Public /mnt/mybooklive/

Kann mir hier evtl. jemand helfen? Ich frage das erst einmal hier im Deutschen Teil des Forums, weil die englischen evtl. garnicht verstehen wo das Problem ist.

Gruss, Thomas
