Hi,
I am having trouble getting openvpn working in 11.2.
It was running in 11.1, but after the upgrade - it stopped, and now I cannot reinstall it again.
This is a guide I am trying to put together (from many different sources), if I should need to do it once again - and hopefully after I have this working - it will also be shared here.
Step 1:
Create new jail:
openvpn
IP: xx.xx.xx.xx
LAGG0
Select "Autostart"
Step 2:
Add mount point:
Source: /mnt/nas/backup/openvpn #This is a SMB share...

When I first set up my FreeNAS and enabled encryption on my volumes, it wasn't clear that each VDed had a different GELI key, and that no matter which one you download, it's 'geli.key', so initially, I had only saved the one from the initial VDev. After learning that there are separate keys for each VDev, I saved the rest.
My suggestion, if it's possible, would be rather than have the keys export as 'geli.key' fora ll VDevs, have the keys export as 'geli_VDevName.key' or something along...

I searched around and really only came up with one 'relevant' thread that was almost four years old and didn't really have an answer. I'm running FreeNAS 11.1-U6 and have two shelves - the main one contains the processing power, controllers, etc and has a dual expander backplane which provides redundant connections to the two controllers, the second shelf is a JBOD unit that currently has a single expander backplane, but I've got a dual expander backplane coming for this one. Once the dual...

For a bit of context I just built a Freenas system and just installed the latest version of Freenas (I think it's the December 5th release, so not technically latest I guess). The specs are as follows in case they are needed:
CPU: Intel Xeon 2650 V2
Motherboard: Supermicro X9 SRL-F
RAM: 64 gb ddr3 ECC 1333Mhz
Drive Controller: LSI H220
Drives: 6x Seagate Enterprise 4TB 7200 RPM (I forget the model)
I'm confident that I could set everything up but I'd like some input on "best" practice...

Recently I tried to install the Zoneminder plugin on my FreeNAS 11.2 RC2 machine, but I ran into the following error:

I have a server with a fresh install of FreeNAS 11.2 that I plan to use for my SOHO network of Linux, Windows, macOS, and/or FreeBSD clients. I have created a pool. I would like to create private SMB/CIFS shares for each of four users, plus a common SMB/CIFS share that all users can read and write.

Since 11.2 release, I've tried to image the ISO to a 32GB USB flash drive from Win 7 on 4 drives, from 2 systems, using 3 different imagewriters (Win32DiskImager, Windows USB/DVD Tool, & Etcher) & Win 7 blue screens on creation every time or any time the disk is inserted after imaging. I didn't have any smaller flash drives to try (on the way) but assume Win 7 does not like the image file structure on such a large disk. On earlier releases (e.g., 11.1) I used smaller disks (4-8 GB) without...

Hi there,
I want to replace a harddisk with a larger one in my Proliant Gen8 freenas server.
However, I cannot find any spare SATA ports besides the SATA ODD connector.
Since the proliant is fairly popular with freenas - can anyone tell me how people do this?
Thank you,
Christoph

At this point I have read the manual and searched around and I still can't figure this out. I trying to connect to a FreeNAS NFS export from an Arch Linux box. I setup the export on the NAS and it seems ok. On the nix box I can mount the export but I can't write anything. I also can't chown any of the files. This is on a home network so functionality is more important than security.
Here's how FreeNAS is configured:

So my frustration level has peaked and I'm needing some help figuring this out. I'm trying to install plugins (i.e. Plex, couchpotato, transmission, etc) and continue to get [EFAULT] Exception: URLError, couchpotato destroyed.......yada yada.

Hello:
First thanks for taking the time to read and possibly help. Here's my situation
Have a Dell Poweredge T130. I installed 4 - 6 TB HGST HDDs in it. BIOS shows all drives as functioning and no issues/errors
Was able to do an install of FreeNAS from USB. Due to the issue, I did another clean install via IDRAC from the ISO mount feature.
The Boot drive is a 32 GB USB stick.
The problem:
When I go to set up my storage array, only 3 of the 4 - 6 TB HDD's is showing. I checked to...

Hi there,
I started installing my FreeNAS system a week ago and everything was working fine. Network setup, general configuration.
Today came my LSI / Broadcom HBA LSI SAS 9300-8i. I put the card in and the first problem is that FreeNAS is not booting any more. I can access the NAS via IPMI and after "booting" I see a black screen with a _. In addition, I can't get into the Bios any more. (delet does not work neither does F11 for boot options) I can press them as much as I want and still...

I have been using freenas for over a year now and it has been great but the one downside I am seeing is that I need to use a tonne of VMs for my lab and it is just too time consuming to create these in Bhyve as I usually have to install the stock OS and then install all the applications required.
In some cases the OS are not compatible with Bhyve so I have to install as a VM on my laptop which is something that from listening to the laptops fan may cause the laptop to fly away.
