I made the switch to FreeBSD-STABLE. I wanted to condense my VM host and my NAS into one system and i just can't do that with FreeNAS. Core-i5, 16 GB of ram, 17 TB of storage after redundancy.

if a determined thief has direct access to your hardware, your fight is lost.

tunnel through ssh, it's much safer and pretty easy to do. if you're on a non windows system, it's easy, everything is built in, if you're on windows, you'll need something like putty to make the...

have you tried forcing the primary video adapter to the on-board in the bios?

you expose your web gui to the world?

if your cpu supports 64 bit, run 64 bit.

what kind do you have?

not many thief's use zfs or bsd...

if you're looking for a free, out of the box hardened system, good luck.

basically, the things you deleted were in the snapshot.

do you have snapshots enabled?

as mean as it sounds, it's kinda correct. it's one thing to fool around at home but if this is for a business, you've got to know what you're doing first, you can't learn as you go there. also a...

That's a very low end CPU with only a tiny bit of cache and not nearly close to the amount of ram required for ZFS.

you could try UFS.

you know you need a SAS controller to use a SAS expander right? the Intel one takes 2 SFF-8087 in, 4 SFF-8087 out. so it's kinda pointless unless your motherboard has SAS.

i have an e7400, 8GB of ram, with a raidz2 of 8 drives. i can do 2 gb/s in and out over my 2 nics.

That wasn't the impression i tried to give. I am running FreeBSD 8.2 STABLE. I got my issue sorted out, need to submit a bug report still.


As someone who is running it, yes it was a pain to get...

i have one of those and it runs great. make sure you buy breakout cables, and not reverse breakout cables.

I generally try and run my PSU's at 60%-75% load. it's reasonably efficient, but it produces less heat and therefore less noise from cooling. it also lets me reuse them in other systems without...

i think returning access is denied to an attempt to access a folder that does not exist is proper.

well read the error. it says it cannot use ~/ because for that user it resolves to /mnt/Storage2TB/Movies and the user does not have permissions to access that folder.

so the user 'movies' does...

Because the definition of stable within the context of the stable development branch is different than you think it is. if you want to be on the bleeding edge, go for it. I'm running FreeBSD 8-STABLE...

yeah, the banner across the top is a bit obtrusive.

don't use 'df -h' for zfs, use 'zfs list'

at that particular point in time, each dataset has that much more extra capacity, any of them can take another 5.4 TB of stuff. the extra space is not...

feel free to run it. but they are not releases, they are development branches, they are not guaranteed to work right. Trying to build a platform on top of an unstable foundation is not a good idea.

there is no FreeBSD release that supports ZFS v28. if you want to be on the bleeding edge, go for it.

stable doesn't mean what you think it means. stable is still a development build.

it's like how creationists use theory as if it's a guess.

I'm actually switching to FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE i'm...
