I have FreeNAS 8.0 installed on a 4GB thumb drive. I also have 2 new 3TB drives. I first physically just installed one of the drives and then create a new volume. The creation of it is successful. I then turn of the FreeNAS and physically install the second one. However, when creating it, I get these errors listed for this volume
I moved around the drive, as in using the "faulty" drive in different SATA channels, including the one where the first volume was successfully created, but I still get the same error.
I made the conclusion that the drive was faulty since I never got it to work, even by itself in the "healthy" channel. I therefore went and bought yet another 3TB drive of the same kind and repeated the procedure. Again, I can create the first volume, but the second volume produces the same errors. I have never had an issue with a single WD drive in my life, and 2 in a row seems very unlikely. So the issue seems to lay with FreeNAS.
Why is this occurring and what can I do to fix it?
I have extremely simple needs when it comes to FreeNAS but I have already encountered 2 bugs (the first being it fails to import NTFS drives and then trashes the contents of it, and the second is the above issue).
Should I download a prior version and use that instead of this maybe?
Code:
Error getting used space (Error) - Error getting available space - Error getting total space
