Hi,
I am building my second FreeNas box. But, I' running into some serious configuration problems. I have a RocketRaid 640 (PCI-Express 2.0, SATA III, 4 ports). I have 3 Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARX 2 TB drives (and I need 1 more). My plan is to create a ZFS2 array with the 4 drives. I had a lot of trouble with the card with the original BIOS and was told by Highpoint support to use the new QuickBiOS. I have that in, and now at least I can boot (from the thumbdrive that FreeNas is on).
So, now, my question is, how to I get the configuration to "stay" in FreeNas. When I modify .conf files, the modifications disappear after I reboot. I do a "mount -w /" to make the file system writeable and save my changes (I go back in again and they are there) but are gone after a reboot. Second, the driver does not seem to "automount". I have to load the driver manually, not sure, but I think that is failure of the file modifications to stay. Finally, how do I configure the drivers into the JBOD arrays?
Thanks for your help,
Tom
