Replication and snapshots lifetime?

Hi,

I got a pool "HDDpool" and want to backup it aperiodically every 2 - 6 weeks to the pool "BACKUPpool" using a replication task or a custom backup script using "zfs send | zfs recieve" but I still want daily/weekly snapshots so I'm able to rollback.

I created a recursive daily snapshot task running every day from monday to saturday with a snapshot lifetime of 7 days.
And I created a recursive weekly snapshot task running only every sunday with a snapshot lifetime of 4 weeks.

I'm not...

When I enable the FTP service from the GUI I get the following error message:

When is start the FTP service from the CLI, everything works:

ftpd is running as pid 24082.

I am making the assumption that FreeNAS is using ftpd under the hood.

Any ideas why I am getting this error?

Sonnet Fusion D800RAID / DX800RAID and second hand hard drives

Just got an offer to buy two old Sonnet Fusion disk enclosures and RAID controllers. Both enclosures support 8 disks and connect to the RAID controller via two SSF 8088 cables (4 disk per cable). Have anyone tried these with FreeNAS? Should I be concern about reliability considering their age (5 and 10 years respectively)?

The enclosures are sold with 8 used hard drives each. Would you be concerned about their reliability? I'm considering setting them up as four-way mirrors so that multiple...

Hello,

Long time lurker and first time poster. I've been using FreeNAS for about 7 years now having built a small box for file sharing (smb, iscsi) and plex. The specs on this box are:

mobo: Intel® Desktop Board DH67CF
cpu: i3-2100
ram: 8GB
disks: 4x2GB in raidz1

I'm planning on re-purposing this system into a NVR system for some security cameras that I have. This will be an opportunity to build a new FreeNAS box.

Some requirements.

Backup config file every night automatically!

I've created a cron job that will automatically backup your config every night(or whenever you want).

Here's how I did it: (the name of my zpool is tank, yours may vary so you will need to adjust the following accordingly)

I created a file on my zpool at /mnt/tank/bkpconfig.sh. It has one line:

cp /data/FreeNAS-v1.db /mnt/tank/`date +%Y%m%d`.db

Dual SFP+ card for FreeNAS Mini XL+ 3.0?

I'm looking to purchase a dual SFP+ PCIe 3.0 x4 card for my Mini XL+. It seems like the networking upgrade kit is for x8 slots (perhaps used by the older revisions of the Mini XL+?). Is there a newer upgrade kit available? Are there any other recommended cards?

List of known SMR drives

Hard drives that write data in overlapping, "shingled" tracks, have greater areal density than ones that do not. For cost and capacity reasons, manufacturers are increasingly moving to SMR, Shingled Magnetic Recording. SMR is a form of PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording). The tracks are perpendicular, they are also shingled - layered - on top of each other. This table will use CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) to mean "PMR without the use of shingling".

Hi all,

First time install and user of FreeNAS here - running version 11.3.

I'm using a HP N40L w 8GB ram, and 4x older 2TB Seagate Barracuda drivers, purely just for video access for my Plex server, note that i do not want plex running on the N40L, and simply want it to be for file/video storage for my Nvidia Shield to access.

I successfully managed to Pool my disks, and create two datasets, one for movies, and one for tv shows.

Also successfully managed to SMB share these two datasets...

Hi all. Another strange problem. I just did this procedure a couple of days ago and it worked fine, but now on a clean install of FreeNAS 11.2-U7 it's failing and I don't know why. I'm running FreeNAS virtualised in XCP-ng 8.0 and trying to install the xe-guest-utilities package, but it's failing.

Boot troubles...

Hi all. I've been running FreeNAS since 8, and have steadily moved my FreeNAS forward. Currently running 11.3 (if I can get it to boot again). The 11.2 - 11.3 upgrade completed, and I thought it would be wise of me to add an additional USB key and mirror a pair in the event of a USB key failure (my boot device). The last one began issuing errors, so mirroring should give me some redundancy. A reboot today, and it doesn't boot any more. I'm left with this on the console...

Why does the login page even require a "username"?

I've always pondered the reasoning behind login screens that only accept root (or admin) as a username, yet still require you to type it in every time.

Wouldn't it be preferable and quicker to simply require only a password, as "root" is supplied as the default "username"?

It's not like you can access the web GUI via any other username.

Is there a historical reason behind this? Just tradition that never changed? Imagine unlocking your iPhone or Android phone, yet a...

Hello, I have some questions.

On a VM mounted on virtualbox, I have FreeNAS installed.
This VM has a bridge configuration to take internet from my home network.
I have created a jail, there I am configuring a reverse proxy to attend to all incoming requests to my FreeNAS.
My idea is to install a SSL Lets encrypt wilcard certificate over the jail with nginx. As investigated in:

Hi all,

I've been playing around on my test bench and I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong.
I am using TrueNAS core as a backend storage device for an ESXI host. I installed 2x Samsung 480GB SM953s and set them up as a dedupe VDEV on the pool where the iSCSI target is located. I ZVOL I created for this testing is set to be sparse.
For testing purposes, I setup a VM with thin provisioned storage and cloned it 3 times. The resulting size being reported was ~80GB in VMWare and ~69GB in...

Okay, I did a search for sr-iov and did not come up with any recent helpful threads.

I have a second instance of FreeNAS running as a VM on Vsphere 7.

The configuration for the VM was initially 2 VMX3 interfaces, and a LSI card passed through. For fun, I switched from the regular pci passthrough, to dynamic pci passthrough. I disabled the virtual interfaces, and passed through 2 of the virtualized interfaces (sr-iov versions), and did the same for the LSI controller.

Unfortunately I did not collect any data during the specific resilver but the thing is this.

I have a pool of 4 different mirrored vdev made by two drives each. One is 2TB the ohter are 3TB drives. I replaced da7 that was in mirror with da4.

In the last week I had to perform more than one resilver of the same drive because I had to correct some lost data. This has been due to probably faulty power supply, I did not loose so much so no problem.

What I noticed is that the resilver took 36...
