My idea was to set up an Ubuntu VM on my TrueNAS CORE 12.0-U1 box running Docker and use a share for all the persistent data. This will have many benefits like snapshots and easy access to the data. Very soon I realized that it is not as easy as it looks. Containers really often want to set...

I recently started using snapshots for a versioned YUM repository. This While testing one of my update scripts for my yum repositories, it accidentally deleted some of the directories I needed to keep. No problem. I had a snapshot of the previous version that I could easily rebase from. The...

Hello there I'm having this issue, I'm unable to connect from my Manjaro machine ( Cinnamon 4.2.4 Kernel 4.19.81-1-Manjaro ) to NFS share on Freenas ver 11.2 U5. I enabled and configured ( I guess ) NFS from webgui, when I go on network, nothing appears. So I tried to connect directly...

Hi, this might be more of a basic UNIX*/POSIX basic understanding question, but please have mercy and shed some light on my issue ;-) Here's the situation : One mail server (MX1) has Maildir storage. It's /home is mounted with NFS on a first FreeNAS (NAS1), so all Maildirs are directly written...

Hi, some recommendations regarding NFS datastore for VMware for current build FreeNAS-11.2-U6? We intend to use FreeNAS on an older DELL R320, 192 GB RAM, HBA PERC H310 with 8x 4 TB SSD SanDisk Ultra 3D, a RAIDZ2 pool and expect "good" performance. NFS version NFSv3 vs NFSv4? sync? compression...

Hi, Just posting this up in case it's an obvious known issue as I've found a work around for now. It's more for my understanding than anything else. I'm running a Freenas VM on vSphere 6. Freenas is at 9.10.1-u2 and is a very simple non-production deployment with 2 cores, 12 GB RAM, 1 x SATA...

First, let me say that I was able to correct most of my problems by just searching this forum. This has been a great resource, I will not argue with anyone telling me that I have done something stupid. I am aware that the hardware installed is not ideal, and if this is the cause of my...

I am trying to change some allowed subnets and hosts for NFS on my FreeNAS box, but every time I do it will give me the "Please wait..." with the turning circle animation and you will not see any changes. I restarted the webserver from the console, and the Django service which I understand helps...

Hello. I'm building my new media server on Ubuntu 18.04. Previously It was on 16.04. I've copied the fstab setting directly over from my old server which has been working fine. The share is able to mount but there's a permissions issue. The permissions are set as "1001:1001". The only way I'm...

Hi Dear; Can anybody help me out how to configure free nas share nfs over public IP? I can mount 100% successful within my local network to any of my centos 7. However, i can't mount from my other centos 7 out of my network. Below is my command: local: mount -t nfs...

Hello. Now I'am designing datastore infrastructure for virtual environment. Planning to use one FN as the main DS, and second one as backup. Backup is replicated by snapshots from the main. The idea is in case disaster on primary DS instantly promote backup to the primary simply by changing it's...

Hi. I have a custom FreeNAS build that serves me well for the last five years. All of the clients in my home network use WiFi so didn't notice any issues until I plugged my Macbook to LAN cable the other day. I noticed transfers of 30-40 MB/s when transfering large files via SMB. That should be...

Hi people, I wonder whether fallocate() that is announced on NFS ver. 4.2 is implemented on FreeNAS? Thank you.

I purchased an LSI 9340-8i IBM 46C9115 M1215 12GB following some advise on the recommended 8 port LSI internal controllers. This will be mated to an AMD X370 motherboard with an AMD 1600 6 core CPU and 32gb of Ram. The system above runs Windows 10, but it hosts a FreeNAS with 8Gb of RAM and 2...

I spent the greater part of 4 hours on the phone with VMware support just trying to mount and NFS sharepoint across 2 hosts in my cluster. The problem that I am seeing is that no matter how I try to mount the datastore, it always ends up being 2 separate mounts (one for each host). Therefore, HA...

Hi, I decide to make this post after a couple of hours searching on google. Maybe my google-fu is not good, please forgive me if my question is dumb. So I started to build my freenas server with two expensive nvme SSD which are put in lz4 compressed mirror without SLOG. I export them as NFS via...

If I understand datasets, each one acts like its own filesystem. In my usual workflow, large files will be pulled down into an NFS share, and when complete, moved to another folder. I imagine this is pretty common. I think this means that putting my download folder and final location folder in...

Is there a way to map a different NFS UID based on IP like you can in Linux? For example, I have a CentOS server with the following /etc/exports entries: /storage/sharedstore 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash) /storage/sharedstore 10.128.0.0/24(ro,sync) One subnet is able to operate...

Hello, I am exporting a dataset (dataset1) via NFS that is inside a pool (pool1). I am mounting said dataset1 on my workstation using LDIFs*. Inside dataset1 there are two more datasets; dataset2 and dataset3. On my workstation where the dataset1 is mounted there are two directories called...

I have a home and an office FreeNAS setup with both upgraded to 11.2. I have successfully installed and set up Syncthing to sync both FreeNAS servers to each other. I have NFS sharing set up from my home and office Ubuntu 18 PCs where /etc/fstab have entries to automatically mount each shared...

I have a dataset (/mnt/tank/Movies) that I had setup long time ago (release 9.x times). I had also shared it via NFS. All of a sudden, the share directory now looks like the following (I think this means there are ACLs set on it, with the "+" at the end of the mode bits): root@zfs[/mnt/tank]#...

Hello, I have two Freenas storage servers, old one using iscsi zvol used by Xen server with 3 luns , new Freenas storage ,instead of zvol decided to use NFS to store all vms. My issue is when i try to migrate all vm from iscsi to nfs , while trying do it directly from Xen console its fails , so...

Greetings! I've been trying to mount a NFS share onto my Ubuntu server from FreeNAS through my router's firewall (VLAN segregation) and was having a hell of a time since I thought that the only ports needed were 111 and 2049. After failing over and over I decided to look at my router logs and...

Hi everyone! I've been using Freenas for about three months now. Unfortunately, last week my hdd (connected through a USB port) where the system was installed died. I took a DB config backup one week earlier the failure happened. It was a simple home config: two shared folders (/mnt/storage...

Hi everyone ! So I know how to create an NFS share in FreeNAS but I can only have 1 owner and 1 groups. My FreeNAS Server is connected to Active Directory. I was wondering if someone know how to add more than one group in NFS share. I know how to do it with SMB(Auxiliary Parameters or directly...

I upgraded to FreeNAS-11.2-U2.1 and when I want to edit my NFS shares I now get the error: You can't share same filesystem with overlapping networks 10.0.31.0/24 and 10.0.31.22/32. This is so because /etc/exports does not act like ACL and it is undefined which rule among all overlapping...

Hello, I have been using freenas last 6 months, so I am a little bit new still, I am not a big fan of bsd systems, just because already used to work on debian SOs, so I have been running VMs since then with byvhe. With this said, I am just mounting my datashares in my debian VMs with NFS and...

So I've had AD groups in the drop-down and have been able to add them as a mapall group for many releases up to 11.1 U6. Upgraded and now it says the groups don't exist. First clue was the dreaded DOMAIN<Group> without the backslash showing up in a mountd error on the console. If I try to add...

Im using FreeNAS as VM storage and it is connected directly to the VM host with a 10Gb Ethernet link. When doing sequential writes over NFS I only get 10-15MB/s while reads are around 120MB/s. If I copy the same file with SFTP, writes are 120MB/s too so it clearly isnt a disk speed issue. I have...

Up until now I have been using SMB on FreeNAS and as many people have told me my 8 drive RAIDz2 (7200RPM disks) wasn't quite as fast as it should be as a network share (~500MB/s). Well, I decided to build a 12x1TB SSD RAIDz2 and found that I had near identical performance using SMB. Talking to...
