I have a Proxmox 5.1-35 (172.16.10.101) and FreeNAS 11.0-U4 (172.16.10.10) server, everything was fine for about 3 weeks until I started getting this message on Proxmox "NFS Shares: storage is not online (500)" on WebGUI but using command line I was able to mount the NFS on FreeNAS. So I posted...

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate my Linux file server over to FreeNAS. The nodes on the network use NFS to mount all shares - well, the whole house runs Linux (and soon FreeNAS of course), so why choose anything else ;-) Anyway, I'm struggling to export a share to the entire network RO, but at...

FreeNAS 11.0U4, system uptime 60 days, 3x300GB SAS 10k disks in a RAID-Z1 configuration + 240GB SAS SSD L2ARC. I have this dedicated to providing a NFS3 share to VMWare to run a variety of VMs. Early this morning one of the drives reported an increase in bad sectors and the performance dropped...

I just set up a FreeNAS server and want to connect to it using NFS. For most other NFS servers, just using your Linux file explorer of choice would show the NFS servers available on the local network so that you can mount their resources. The same goes for things like KODI. But this does not...

Hey all. So, I had a pass at making the change over from Corral to 11 today (I was one of those where corral was still working fine for my uses so I didn't jump on 11 from the start). Got as far as having the new RancherOS VM installed, the UI set up and it talking to the host correctly, but I...

I have this problem for a while but after upgrade to 11.1 this went to extremes. I have setup Proxmox with several VMs, most of them small 5-20 GB, but one of them little over 160 GB. For a few months I experienced weird slow downs of the Proxmox server while making backups to FreeNAS but in...

Hi, I'm trying to use FreeNAS as a NFS server for our Citrix XenServer 7.1 cluster. Sadly, performance is not optimal, and I'm trying to find out, why. Hardware for FreeNAS - SuperMicro 6027R-E1CR12N - Disks: - 8 Seagate Entreprises HDD (4 TB each) - 4 Intel S3500 SSD 480 GB, two for ZIL...

Hi, I have used FreeNAS for non-critical (file sharing, lab ESXi) use for a while now and I'm about to build our first production FreeNAS box and I'd like to have your advice. The plan is to use this server: HP DL380 G7 48 GB RAM 2x Xeon X5680 Smart Array P410i RAID controller 2 x 2TB...

Hello. I'm brand new to FreeNAS and building out servers, so please pardon my innocence. I'm looking to build out a FreeNAS server that would act as a passive backup server for our primary storage(4-node Isilon cluster). By no means do I expect to run regular HPC load on this FreeNAS server...

Hi, I've tried mounting a NFS share from my Synology NAS to my FreeNAS (have data on both NAS). When I try to do a "mount -a" I get the message "fstab: /etc/fstab:3: Inappropriate file type or format". I only added this line to the file: 10.10.1.12:/Media /media/Freja/Media nfs defaults 0 0...

Hi Looking to connect/share two FreeNAS machines with each other. Not looking to create a VM/replication or duplication. How can I mount a folder on freenas1 from freenas2? I've tried NFS but it is buggy/faulty: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Program not registered I am open to other ways, any ideas?

Hallo, ich habe dre Synology Laufwerke (ein 411j und ein 414) in Freenas per PreInit Script eingebunden zwei von einer (x.x.x.24/414) eines von einer (x.x.x.32/411j) IP adresse in der jetzigen 9.10 U6 (auch schon davor) werden diese auch komplett richtig eingebunden. jetzt habe ich auf 11...

I am managing a couple of xenservers and decided to try out FreeNAS for the NFS datastores for VM's xenserver took a dive and I am now rebuilding from my 2 healthy FreeNAS servers. freenas1 hold all the active datasets and is snapshoted hourly and replicated to freenas2 When I mount a clone...

I use FreeIPA as a domain controller and have a number of NFS exports I'd like to use krb5 security with. After a fair amount of suffering I got this all working on Corral, but with Corral being dead I needed to do a fresh install with 11. Unfortunately now I can't get it all working again...

I setup a NFS share that is working flawlessly with my Ubuntu server, matched up the uids and gids and I'm good to go. Now when I mount my NFS share to my windows box I'm able to view the directories and files in explorer. I'm able to delete files and move them between folders, but whenever I...

Hi All, I am really enjoying iohyve on my FreeNAS 9.10 system. I've now got 3 VMs, all running Debian Jesse, working like a charm. I'm slowly migrating my services which were once hosted on jails / plugins into Docker containers on my VMs. I'm so impressed with how straight forward it has been...

Hi Everyone, Summary: on ESXI host itself (not a vm) read performance over NFSv3 from Freenas, when reading a file completely from ARC, is very slow (13-17MB/s) over 1GbE link. Hoping to pick the brains of some experts on this one. I'm relatively new to the forums, but not to FreeNAS...

Hey guys, I just recently setup the RancherOS in a iohyve environment. Everything works fine, but I'm a bit worried about how I have NFS setup. I have 2 NICs on my FreeNAS box, and currently, it is listening on the NIC dedicated to iohyve. I have never used NFS before, but it appears to not have...

Quick Summary: ESXi NFS sequential writes seem to be capped at 250 MB/s when talking to a beefy NFS pool over 10GbE. NOTE: This isn't the usual "why are sync writes slow" question. At least I don't think so. Box #1 VMware ESXi 6.0 U2 Supermicro X9SRE-F, E5-1650V2, 16GB ECC memory Intel...

I'm running 9.10.2-U3 serving nfs to a couple dozen linux clients over a 10Gb (copper) network. Under heavy load, all the clients seem to get stuck when doing file moves (rename) and on the file server I see a single nfsd thread eating 100% cpu for many (>10) minutes and none of the other nfsd...

Greetings to a most helpful group! I built my first server for the house, I set up a dataset, I configured fstab to automatically mount the dataset on a remote machine. So far so good, but I'm a bit perplexed by permissions, and think I must be missing something. I created three users. Call...

Hi FreeNAS forum :-) Another FreeNAS+NFS+ESXI+Datastore performance problem. Thanks for a great forum. (sorry for my english, hope that you understand) First of all, I have read the many threads about NFS Performance with VMWare, and I know and get that it is all related to the SYNC writes...

I'm trying to add a VM in ESXi to a NFS datastore on my FreeNAS 9.10. When I get to the options for thick/thin provisioning its all greyed out. Looked around found some information about quotas needing to be defined on FreeNAS NFS for thick provisioning. So I added the quota and tried again to...

Hello everyone, I would like to know what the recommended method of sharing a dataset is with the following scenario: 5 Hosts - A, B, C, D, E. A should be allowed rw access, and B, C, D, E should only be allowed ro access. This is possible using exports, but I am unsure how to do so in...

So I'm having some performance issues with my FreeNas box. I've created a basic two drive mirror. I make two datasets. I share one with NFS, the other with CIFS. Windows can copy to the CIFS share at 100+ MB/s. Windows then copies to the NFS share at ~25 MB/s. Linux (Debian Testing) copies to...

Despite several days of searching various forums and trying various fixes, I can't get my Ubuntu desktop to mount a NFS share off my FreeNAS. FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 Ubuntu 16.04 Both systems can ping the hostname, FQDN of themselves and the other machine. Both systems can do a reverse DNS lookup...

I've got this directory: /mnt/tank/nvr/recordings And I need to share it with two separate clients via NFS with different permissions: 192.168.2.101 with write access 192.168.2.212 with read-only access The first box needs write access to the data. The second box should only have read...

Hi guys I wanted to mount my nfs share in Ubuntu and typed this in the terminal: Mount 192.168.1.130:/mnt/Share/NFS_Share /home/Share After that, I get the following error message if I want to go to "files". **Unhandled error message: Error when getting Information for file /home/user1: So such...

Hi guys I tried to connect my NFS Share with Ubuntu, but I got the following error notification: mount.nfs "failed to find tcp.port=2049" protocol What do I have to do? Regards

I am excited to have built my first FreeNas System (FreeNAS-9.10 STABLE but without any updates, downloaded the first week of november), essentially using the ddr4 equivalent of what is found on Brian Moses EconoNas 2016 build here. No link version: ASUS B150M-K, 6x2TB HGST Deskstar 7200RPM...

Greetings all, I'm having a very difficult time getting my NFS shares to work with krb5p. Here is what my system looks like: Build: FreeNAS-9.10.1-U2 (f045a8b) CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 RAM: 32GB DDR3 I've setup a RAID-Z2 on 4x Western Digital 6TB SATA drives for an effective 10.2TB of...

Hi, I have FreeNAS-9.10.1-U2 (f045a8b), just tried to enable the NFS service but I got this error nfsd: can't register svc name What does it mean and what can I do with it? I use the default settings, NFSV4 not enabled; Best Regards, Oct 21 21:34:14 freenas notifier: mountd not running...

Hi everyone, I've wanted to see how well FreeNAS would perform in back to back tests on physical vs. virtual hosts on the same hardware for a while now and finally have all the parts together to do some initial testing. My vision is to have a single box that can do it all for my homelab and...

Looking for a bit of a reminder on how to do this. I've recently got a FreeNAS machine up and running and am trying to set it up in a similar way to my old Ubuntu server. My linux laptop is my main machine and using fstab in the past I've automated the mounting on boot of the the Ubuntu server...

Hi there, I´m new to FreeNAS (and of course FreeBSD), but quite experienced with Linux. I wanted to mount some NFS shares which are on other NAS Systems onto the FreeNAS Server (9.10), so I edited the /etc/fstab accordingly. Which did work until I rebooted the system. Afterwards the /etc/fstab...

Hello, Running into what seems to be a dumb user issue. I am trying to make an NFS mount from my FreeNAS box and mount it on my Ubuntu box. I was already able to do this with CIFS before I wiped and started over. FreeNAS 9.10.1 I have a volume with Unix Permissions, owned by nobody/nobody...

Can I attach a USB SD/multi-card reader to my FreeNAS server to make the contents of SD cards available on the network through NFS or some other method? What's the filesystem/driver support like?

2016.08.25 Update TL;DR Lessons learned: If using hostname, make sure that it resolves. If the hostname refers to a LAN computer, it probably will not resolve unless you've gone out of your way to make it do so, e.g., set up your own LAN DNS. NFS version 3 (NFS3) supports using client...
