How to replace the drive in Freenas 8.04?

[gpsguy]

In order to get to the command line from another machine, you'll want to enable SSH (under services).

If you're using Windows, you can use the PuTTY client to connect to your FreeNAS box.

I believe that by default, it's 2Gb per disk. From the command line, do a "swapinfo" to get the info.

2. if not how to telnet in and do it via command line?

Thanks for the info, I managed to find the size of my swap in the GUI. Here is how, for those fellow SSH refugees.

Login web GUI -> System -> Settings -> 'Advanced' tab, 5th line down “Swap size on each drive in GiB, affects new disks only. Setting this to 0 disables swap creation completely (STRONGLY DISCOURAGED).” 2.

I tried to log in via Putty on my linux desktop, but unable to get past the login. Tried admin:GUI password, GUI login:GUI password, admin:freenas. No luck.

Thanks!

The GUI login/password "admin" is strictly a GUI login account, you'd need to create a new user to login with SSH, which can also be called "admin" because it's separate from the GUI username.

The place you found in the GUI for showing swap size doesn't tell you what your existing swap sizes are. Once 8.2 is released you won't need to worry about Putty since you'll be able to open a Shell from the GUI and run commands like "swapinfo".
