Hey everyone,
Still digging through previous threads to try to find a fix but I thought I would say hi. Very excited about FreeNAS. Just built my first FreeNAS build and love/d it. I got everything set up and running beautifully. raidz2 with 7 x 6tb drives blew my mind. Set plex, sickrage, couchpotato, sabnzbd up and everything was working wonderfully. Then I had to reboot to get resilio working and all of a sudden some of my pluggins failed to start. I started having No JSON object could be decoded errors. At this point I have messed so much with my jails configuration I no longer am getting that error but the pluggins wont start and I am not getting consistent errors.

Current network setup: I am using DHCP on my jails with static MAC addresses that my router gives static IP addresses. Why plex and sickrage have no problem with this and couchpotato and sabnzb wont start is beyond me. I am really looking for a place to start digging in the forums.

First of all, Welcome to the forums.

Some advice, get rid of the ZIL and L2ARC, you are almost guaranteed to be hurting your performance and just adding a level of complexity you do not need. If you feel you need these items, if you could try to justify their use then we could tell you if you are okay.

Next, open up a new thread in the Help section and ask for some help. Describe your problem in detail and if you are using plugins, jails, single jail for each program or all in one jail, etc... Also, ensure you keep a backup of your configuration file once you get things working, it will save your rear.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the quick reply. I do wish I had backed up the config file. Sadly, I was still in the tinkering phase, which killed me.
I will take your advice and kill the ZIL and L2ARC as soon as I can get this back to previous state.
