Dan just found a bug on the ‘rev 688’ of FreeNAS: Here are some command enter by a simple user (not root, not in the wheel group): > mount /dev/md0 on / (ufs, local) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/raid5/BigDiskp1 on /mnt/big_share (ufs, local, soft-updates, acls) /dev/ad0s1 on /cf (ufs, local, read-only) > ls -alh […]

I’ve found the problem with openssh-portable : It seem that openssh-portable haven’t the same default value as the FreeBSD sshd implementation. It needs the line “PasswordAuthentication yes” on the sshd_config file. And I’ve added some messages about umouting drive that are used by swap file or iSCSI target and other little fix and prevent to […]

Yesterday I did a big mistake: I’ve upgrade my NAS server with a non-tested release of FreeNAS. And this release had a big bug that prevent me to start it again 🙁 The process for recovery my system is quite simple: 1. Boot from a working FreeNAS CDROM 2. Mount the partition where is installed […]

I have added a new feature to use a USB stick to save the configuration when booting FreeNAS from CD. Alternatively a floppy disk can be used also.

I’ve disabled the openssh-portable package again because of ssh login failures. The original sshd shipped with FreeBSD6.2 is used instead, but this one has no HPN patch.

Here is the actual state of the day about my works. RSYNC bug fixed : I forgot to add the hidden ‘id’ value (corresponding to the entry number) in the web form. FAT32 and EXT2 formatting: I’ve remove the BSD label creation for these filesystem (it was an old bug created when I didn’t understand […]

My previous problem encounter when using the latest FreeBSD 6.2 code was fixed: Replaced the defective FreeBSD 6.2 gzip binary by the gzip port. Now I can install and upgrade my FreeNAS again. I hope that the FreeBSD team will fix this problem on gzip (imported from NetBSD). This week, If I got enough time, […]

(First post!) Since the last week, I can’t install FreeNAS on my virtual machine (same problem under KQEMU and VMware). When booting from the CDROM (or upgrading from WebGUI) I meet this error message (try to install it in both mode): gunzip: error writing to output: Broken pipe gunzip: img file: uncompress failed Then, from […]
