Hello everybody. Unfortunately, since I am writing here it means that I have a problem.
Originally I had a very nice, good working FreeNas build on a PC with some SAS drives. It was working great, no problems there.
BUT, I got my hands on a server Sun X4170 and decided to upgrade. I installed a second SAS controller, installed 16 SAS harddrives and installed FreeNas-11.1-U6. The installation completed successfully on a USB stick, with no problems whatsoever. I used my older configuration from the older PC Freenas and changed the pool and dataset. I knew that it wouldnt work normally but at least I expected the folders to show up on the network. Never did. I built half of the config from scratch. SMB shares do not show up. I built all the config from scratch following almost all the available videos on the internet. SMB shares do not show up , neither on Windows nor on Linux. I created shares with Unix permission AND with guest access. I created shares with Windows permissions. I tried every possible setting (that I know of, I am not so experienced). The problem is that the shares do not even show on the network, nor they mount when I try to mount them through //IP/sharefolder on windows or files program on elementary OS using connect to server app. I even checked the bios settings, maybe there is some kind of setting that blocks this kind of traffic. I checked also my house router that I set as a gateway to see if it blocks something. I followed the process of creating a new User or Group or even did it with default, but in any case I think it should show at least on the local network. Do you have any idea what else to check?
PS. I can log in to the NAS normally through webgui and services like SMB etc are all on. Thank you.
