How to install FreeNAS on thin client WYSE v50l

[iao]

As in the topic above.
I have a WYSE v50l and want to make server nas with the ability to download magnet links.
Has anyone ever done it before?

No. That device is absolutely, totally, and in all other ways unsuitable to run FreeNAS.

The specs I found say it has a maximum supported memory of 1GB. That is one-eighth of the minimum needed amount.

It will not FreeNAS.

Well maybe iXsystems should come out with a Micro-FreeNAS edition :p

Actually, that's not a bad idea, just a FreeNAS with minimal basic NAS functions. Of course someone would want to ruin it and ask why they can run a VM or Jails.

...or ask if it would run on 50% hardware specs :P

I have 1GB memory RAM on board.

LOL, FreeNAS requires 8GB RAM. I think even NAS4Free requires at least 4GB. It's inconceivable.

You could actually try FreeNAS 8.03 which will run on 1GB RAM but that is with ext4 formatted drives I believe. This would give you basic NAS functions. It might even support ZFS but you would really need to test it (I've seen it done a few times before).

 

[danb35]

Yes. And FreeNAS requires 8 GB minimum. Running FreeNAS on this machine would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable.

FreeNAS without ZFS is a car without wheels.

Don't bother with FreeNAS. Just install <favorite insert Linux distro here> FreeBSD and be done with it.
