Hi everyone, as I'm waiting for the components of my new and first FreeNAS machine to arrive, I thought to myself "It'd be wonderful if the ups could send a shutdown signal to the server when the battery is running low in case of blackout" - obviously, the documentation answered me, and this is...

I use external Seagate 10TB disk for periodically sync zfs snapshots, and for safe use and correct spin down. By some case device never try spin down after unmounting device. For resolve I try use usbcontrol for power_off usb port. usbconfig -d ugen0.3 power_off All work OK, externall device...

As recommended in another thread, I bought an LSI SAS9211-8I card to burn-in test my SAS drives in a non-production machine. This card has two internal x4 SFF8087 Mini-SAS connectors. So I looked around for a cable (it doesn't come with any) that converts the SFF8087 to a SAS connector (29 pin)...

After I upgraded to 11 I saw the console was spamming some coretemp messages about the CPU temperature being too high and that a shutdown was recommended. I halted the system, drove home, booted it with a monitor attached and went into my BIOS (gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3) and lowered my clock...

I used to have FreeNAS 9.10.1 installed on this very system, since then only change I've made is upgrade my system firmware. I'm now trying to freshly install 9.10.2-U3 and keep getting stuck at the following screen: I've also tried installing without a network cable and in both UEFI and...

So, I have this board X11SSH-CTF with a (Skylake) Xeon E3 and I am planning to buy this PSU 500W seasonic, SS-500L2U. I have 12 WD NAS RED (3TB) and maxed out RAM. Will 500W suffice ? CPU is: 80 W TDP. Drives are: 4W (let's say 10W) Board: can be probably ignored RAM: can be probably ignored...
