Freenas security report

[avalon60]

Can someone please tell me what this means:

freenas.local kernel log messages:

pid 19827 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 10
pid 19828 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 10
pid 20108 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 10
pid 20111 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 10

There are about 30 lines of this with different pid numbers

I googled it but only found exited on signal 11, which was interpreted as bad ram.​

That could also be a hardware error. What is the CPU and RAM on the system?

 

[cyberjock]

If you could post your total hardware on your FreeNAS server and FreeNAS version too please.

 

[avalon60]

This is the hardware and version of freenas on my homebuilt freenas server

Build: FreeNAS 9.2.1.5 (80c1d35)
CPU: Intel i3 3220@3.3GHz
RAM: 16259mb Non ECC Kingston HyperX x2 8Gb sticks
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D3V
PSU: 450Watt (about 3 years old now)
x3 WD Red 2Tb in one pool, and x2 1Tb in another pool

All inside a oldish Lian-Li aluminum case with 4 built in fans.

I was running FreeNAS 9.2.0.0 for about 12 months and didn't have email reporting turned on as it were. It is about 2 weeks since I upgraded FreeNAS, and about 4 days since I have had email reporting turned on.

If it anything to do with the motherboard, I am going to change it soon to a Supermicro board

And your RAM too. I didn't look up the CPU but it will need to be ECC compatible too.

 

[avalon60]

I have just seen that the CPU I have does support ECC ram. And yes I will be getting ECC ram as well.

The Gigabyte motherboard you listed above won't support ECC RAM so you will *have* to go with Supermicro (or another server-grade board) to use ECC.

 

[avalon60]

Yes I know, that is why I am going for this one

That's the board I am using. Very good choice!

 

[avalon60]

Phew! Thanks for that.
I'll get some ECC ram ordered for it now.

 

[Yatti420]

Very similiar to the x9scl.. Just looks like c202 with 6xsata2 versus yours c204 with the 2xsata3/4xsata2...

 

[avalon60]

Yes I looked at the x9scl board as well, and saw the difference with sata ports. I just picked x9scm as I think it will suite me better.

Out of interest, when I change the board and ram, would it be just a straight swap and reboot my NAS box, or would there be anything else I may have to take care of.

 

[cyberjock]

You should be able to swap the hardware and boot up right away. You *may* have to do a single reboot just to get everything back in order, but that's not the norm.

 

[avalon60]

Regarding the FreeNAS Security report, I have not had one since I took my 2 1TB drives offline and ticked 'New drives'

My supermicro board arrived today, that's the X9SCM, and see that it has a USB 2 port built into the board. Could or should I use that port for the FreeNAS USB stick so that the USB stick is permanently inside the case. I think it would be a good idea, but want a 2nd opinion.

 

[danb35]

That's what I'm doing with my X9SCL, and I understand that's the purpose of that internal port.

 

[avalon60]

Ok, great, thanks for that.
Just another q on that board if I may.

It states that a e3 1200 v2 cpu must be used if the ram speed is 1600MHz, which mine is. Presently I am using an i3 3320 cpu in a consumer board, and was going to use that the my X9SCM-F board. Does look like I'll have to buy another cpu.

Memory should automatically run at whatever speed the CPU supports. Double check in any case - if it's not, switch it to 1333MHz, if that's the maximum supported by the CPU.
