FreeNAS 11.2-U5 and BSD Boot Loader woes (Dell H/W and ESXi)

Hello,

Is anyone else having trouble with newer editions of FreeNAS that use the BSD boot loader?

I've done some searches, and some of the problems people seem to be having with the BSD boot loader may be related to USB sticks, but this does not apply to my case.

I recently upgraded a FreeNAS system which I manage with the following specs:

Dell R620 (updated to latest firmware, as of the beginning of July, system is 2014 era)
Avago/LSI 9300-8E SAS Controller
SuperMicro 90 Bay JBOD...

Ok, so after a recent server fault, I'm in the market for a new primary host. But selecting said host from surplus gear would be a lot easier if I was used a SAS JBOD/Disk shelf, but I'm a bit confused on what I need to do so.
I currently run an LSI 9211-8i. Is there a way to use this card on an external array? If not, what's an easy way to determine which LSI controllers would be bad or good for this?
What about using it with a NetApp DS4246 with OM6 modules? These can be had on ebay for...

Hi, this is my first server build.

My hardware:
CPU: Intel Xeon E-2172
RAM: 32 GB Samsung REG 2666
MB: Supermicro X11SCL-F
HBA: LSI MegaRAID 9211-8i SAS
HDD: 6 x WD Red Nas 4TB
SSD: 1 x Intel 80GB

The LSI card was given to me and should already be in IT mode.

I checked that the MB BIOS was the most recent, which it is.

The LSI card sits in the PCI-E x8 (in x16) slot

I don't know what BIOS settings to change, I think I've tried the most common things, like changing from Legacy to EFI and...

Initial / experimental support for time machine over SMB

$

Experimental support for time machine over SMB is in FreeNAS 11.1-U5 and 11.1-U6

Step 1: enable "vfs_fruit" on ALL SMB shares. This is _required_ because OS-X SMB clients negotiate support for the SMB2_AAPL protocol extensions on the first SMB2 tree connect.

Step 2: Add auxiliary parameter "fruit:time machine = yes" to the SMB share you want to use for time machine backups.

Step 3: Restart samba in the UI (not the command line. we need to properly restart mdns as well as samba)

Caveats...

Hi! This is my first post to the forum, so I apologise in advance if I miss out on any of the rules. However, I will try me best ;-)

We have a FreeNAS mini box (2016) that worked quite fine until a few days. One of the drives started to show errors in SMART and we decided to replace the drive with a new one. I followed the instructions from the official documentation (https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.2/storage.html#replacing-a-failed-disk) to replace the failing...

UPS for FreeNAS

So, looking for some information.

What models of UPS's do you all actually have working with FreeNAS 11.2 u4.x?

Just dropped a bunch on a UPS that is supposed to work, but doens't. This was after taking a gamble, and buying one that appeared to be supported in NUT. (Others have it working in older versions of FreeNAS, by editing the device list...)

I really don't want to go through this again...

Thanks!

Back Story
I had some trouble flashing my LSI 9217 controllers so wrote up this doc to share. Every youtube video appear to be made by people who were too confused fro me to confidently follow them and any guide i came across that seem to work i would run into the issue of not being able to run the flashing tool to work. The root cause was I needed to be in EFI/UEFI and use the relevent installer for this boot type. After about 6 hours messing about and researching I finally got the...

I'm currently figuring out how Plex works and I also want to know the proper procedure for restoring my Plex server in case I have to do a reinstall of my Plex jail for example. I just tested this by following the procedure listed below.
  1. Make a copy of the the /Plex Media Server folder
  2. Destroy the Plex jail
  3. Install it again from the web UI
  4. Stop the jail and configure it exactly like as it was before
  5. Create the same mount point so Plex could access my...

Hi folks,
FreeNAS Mini XL+
Can I use Intel Optane drive into the M.2 x2 slot ( SLOG ) and Intel Optane drive into the PCIe x4 slot (L2ARC) on the mobo?
Can I use 8 x WD RED PRO 12TB? No overheating with these drives?
Where is the OS installed? On the SATADOM ( orange colour )?
The mobo offers another 3 x SATA ports, can I use them for three 2.5" SSDs and create a separate pool out of them in ZFS ( need to mount the third in the chassis somehow )?
Thanks

Moving from Native FreeNAS to Virtualised(ESXi)

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.

Freenas 8, upnp, iTunes / DAAP, downgrade?

Hello,

I discovered FreeNAS for a few days, and asked me a few questions.

Apparently, on version 7 the upnp and the iTunes / DAAP were available, but more on the version 8. I'm just going to start with a little off-topic:

I find it a pity that the version 8 is oriented pro, but what is really the utility of getting oriented pro? even if FreeNAS is quite successful and free, shares are "limited" in the sense that (unless I'm wrong) read / write access can only be delivered by volume...

Hi all,

Is it possible to see list of who is connected to an SMB share? And to disconnect (cleanly or forcefully) some/all of the users? I'm considering replacing a macOS Server file sharing box with FreeNAS, and I don't see anything like the attached screenshot.

Thanks,
