Hello everyone, I've just successfully builded FreeNAS-11.2-U5 on my old HW (see bellow). Everything is working fine instead of Virtualization. I am afraid of old CPU model AMD Athlon 4850e. Anyway this is old AMD from Athlon family which should be supported by FreeNas. Isn't it ??? I have in...

Hello all, this is my first post here. I have already searched for a while but apparently only a few of you are using Hyper-V to virtualize FreeNAS. I would be thankful for any information about this topic. If you have experience in virtualizing FreeNAS in Hyper-V, please help me. First of...

I know it's way too early for a thread like this, as FreeNAS 11 is still in its early stages of utilizing its virtualization abilities, but I'm sure you can already see its potential and can make a comparison based on that. So I'm currently in the process of choosing a virtualization platform...

Hi people. I already read a lot of posts in FreeNAS forums in more than 3 or 4 years that I'm here, I've already read a lot of documentation of ZFS, FreeNAS, Storages, but I never close my mainly doubt about what is a best way to build a private cloud environment using FreeNas(ZFS) and Windows...

so I'm wondering if anyone knows if 9.10_U3 and 4 works with VirtualBox. I know it's no longer supported but until Bhyve has console support so I can run Windows virtual boxes and not have to hack and slash the OS to get it to work, I am not willing to update. Seems support for virtualbox...

Hello folks, this post is simply some kind of report or feedback about my experience with upgrading my 6x 4TB WD drives based zpool on an esxi based virtualized freenas system. This is not intended to be used as an general how-to, but it might help a minority of freenas users who might run into...

Buongiorno a tutti, Sono un felice utilizzatore di FN da un po' di tempo, e da poco ho iniziato ad usare Bhyve per virtualizzare una singola istanza di Debian. Ho configurato tutto con iohive set, iohive console e fatto partire il server con iohyve start e devo dire che funziona tutto...
