I am new here, so sorry if I missed something.
I installed freenas (twice), I create my volume, but when I goto create my share, I use the gui to select the path, then I get an error "path does not exist" It does this for apple, windows, and unix shares. PLEASE.. what am I missing. this is making me go crazy
What version of FreeNAS? Can you take a screenshot of the error and what the path selection dialogue looks like before it happens?
it's the most recent version FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p1-x64
When I attempt to create a share, I name it, then click on browse. I select /mnt/vol1 ( I named the volume, vol1), then either depending on what type of share (win, apple, unix) is how long before I get the error, for unix, it take a few seconds, then in red letters above the path, I get "path does not exist" for a windows share, I browse, to select the path, just as I click on vol1, it closes and I get the red letters "path does not exist" I am sure it's me, but I am at a loss. I have tried on two systems with diffrent hardware and same results
Is that a ZFS or UFS volume?
Either. I have tried both and get the same results.
the 1st computer was a duel core with 2 gig's of ram (test box), then 2nd computer is (2) quad cores (8 total) with 16 gig's of ram.
In the console windows (on the machine running FreeNAS) enter 9 for shell. Note: you can run this from a SSH window if you know how.
Type this command and report back what it says: df
it should look something like this (values will be different):
Post the results.
