Hmmm, you must be time travelling... FreeNAS 8.2 doesn't exist in this timeline yet... but FreeNAS 8.0 does and if I recall that is a known issue with 8.0 that has been fixed in the 8.01 betas.

Well, i downloaded and installed FreeNAS-8.0-RELEASE-amd64
after it was installed, system information shows Freenas 8.2-Release p1

Memory does not show is a known issue ?
ok thanks

I know where you are seeing the 8.2 now, it actually says FreeBSD if you look more closely. FreeNAS 8.0 is based on FreeBSD 8.2, and the memory was displayed incorrectly and has been fixed.

Thanks, the first gen of ver 8 i loaded, i could not do anything, so i went back to the latest ver 7 and found error in all the drives in the log told me to back up my data, that was under a 64bit zfs z2

Well if you get those errors resolved and want to try version 8 again, try the latest 8.01 beta, it handles importing volumes better. Good luck getting your errors fixed.

Thanks fixed that problem, now it only shows 4GB instead of 8GB of memory

What version of FreeNAS are you using now? 8.0 or 8.01 beta ? and i386 or AMD64? and what type of processor 32 or 64bit?
