Hi! I need a Linux machine in order to run Pi-Hole (there's no support for FreeBSD/NAS yet), and then I'm trying to setup a Linux VM. I was able to do this on a previous pure FreeBSD system using this tutorial (with some adjustments), but now, in FreeNAS, I can't get the same, even if I try to...

Hi everyone, I'm using FreeNAS since 1 year. ATM I'm using 11.1-U5 I want to create a VM but it won't start. root@freenas:~ # tail -f /var/log/messages /var/log/middlewared.log /var/log/debug.log ==> /var/log/messages <== Jun 19 15:49:01 freenas kernel: tap0: promiscuous mode enabled Jun 19...

Hola saludos para todos, instalé FreeNAS-11.1-U1 desde cero en un VMware ESXi, 6.0.0, sobre un HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 que tiene un Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz en lo que iba mirando y probándolo (nunca antes lo habia usado) creé una maquina virtual en el FreeNAS con Deepin para...

The minimum VM memory size is set to 512M right now in FreeNAS 11.1, which seems completely random and arbitrary. Is there any actual basis for this? It is basically being quite wasteful for ultra light weight VMs that don't use anywhere near that much RAM. The bhyve docs itself even states the...

Hi gang! I would so appreciate some advice/recommendations on how to setup my drive pools to work with TimeMachine Backups + Windows Backup + Plex Server + File storage. *Annnd if it's not to crazy have some GPU's mining coin. *note that the mining is more of a "in a perfect world" wish and...

Although I have read KrisBee's post* on Linux VMs, I am unsure how to go forward. *https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-how-to-boot-linux-vms-using-uefi.54039/ I have Freenas 11.0-U4 running happily. I was able to get a CentOS VM to install and run happily. However, I would like...

I have FreeNAS-11.0-U2 and am trying to setup a VM for Windows Server 2016. I've followed the instructions in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbTrG3HRrds), however when I try to install Windows Server it: - Goes through the installer and copies/installs the files - Performs the...

Hello everyone! I am building a server for a client of mine and I am interested in some feedback from the community. This is my first FreeNAS build, and I have pretty limited experience in file storage, but I enjoy the challenge. As this is a Ryzen build, I really want to documents my challenges...

Hi, Past week we bought a server with windows7 preinstalled on a 256GB HD and an additional 1TB HD. We installed FreeNAS 11 in a dedicated 8GB usb as suggested in documentation and use the additional disk for ZFS storage. We want to create a Windows VM that uses directly the windows 7...

I originally wrote this for emby users, but because this is certainly relevant to freenas users, I'll cross-post it here, since once you get docker working, you can use it to set up any container you see fit. I will use emby server as my container of choice though. Here's the original I wrote -...

So I finally managed to remove Corral from my system and installed a fresh copy of FreeNAS 11 (Stable). I was able to create an Ubuntu server VM within the GUI, however I cannot get a Windows VM to boot from the CD. I've tried various OS versions (Server 2008, 2012, 2016) and they either don't...

Salve ragazzi, ho installato FreeNAS Corral, (mi sono innamorato della sua interfaccia, dei PlugIn installati tramite Docker, ma sopratutto della facilita per creare macchine virtuali) e non riesco ad installare Windows 10, succede questo: Avvio la macchina virtuale Premo il tasto per leggere...

Hey Folks, i want to create a VM with the new FN11 stable. Under devices i tried to add a disk, but the dropdown menu for Zvol is empty. I have 2 pools and have access to it from a windows machine. Any idea?

I'm on FN11-RC4. Creating a VM from the GUI and adding disk, VNC and CDROM seems to work fine. This allows me to get the VM to a RUNNING state, connect over VNC (with high image quality) and start the OS installation of ubuntu server 16.04. However, when activating a NIC device for a VM it...

Hi, I've switched from Corral over to 11-RC, and I'm trying to build my VMs again (from scratch, since 11-RC isn't able to boot my older grub/bhyve loaded VMs). First up, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 11-RELEASE from an ISO image. I get as far as this, and then... nothing: Any suggestions...

Note: In this tutorial, I install Ubuntu Mate as my guest OS, and then use an Ubuntu Desktop ISO in Live mode to repair the boot device. You can try the steps using the Mate ISO or whatever distro you're using, but I've had mixed results with other ISOs than the Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 ISO...
