SOLVED Cannot install - not enough space on 8GB Stick

[operator]

Hello,
i will install the actually FreeNAS (11.2 or 11.3 - not sure, downladed in February) on my old FreeNAS Server (was offline for 6 months) and cannot. The hw configuration didn't changed but now i at the installation the messages: see screenshots

Before i was using FreeNAS 9.x and there were no problems with the stick capacity.

If there is no way to get a larger stick now, download and install 11.1 and upgrade.

Needs the actually version more than 8 Gigs? I didn't find something about it in the hw requirements. Just the recomended size of 16 GB or more.

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Most sticks labeled "8G" are actually slightly smaller. And FreeNAS is just a bit pedantic about it since 11.2.

He counts 7,5 GB for the stick.

Now i tried to install the 11.1 version and get following error message - see screen below.

Your install media seems to be defective. Did you burn a CD from the image or are you using a hypervisor to install? If the latter, which one? I only ever used VMware Fusion.

I´m installing fron a burned CD in ext. usb cd/dvd drive.

Then your CD obviously shows "Unretryable errrors".

Hi,
ok i found out that my ext. dvd drive doesn´t reads the CD correctly. So i installed the stick on my PC by booting from the cd.
