Hi all
I just built my new Freenas server:
OS Version: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p1
Platform: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+
System Time: Sat Jun 4 09:49:12 BST 2011
Uptime: 9:49AM up 23 mins, 0 users
Load Average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.03
FreeNAS Build: FreeNAS-8.0-RELEASE-amd64
2GB RAM
1 X OCZ Sata II 30GB SSD HDD (O/S)
2 X Samsung 2TB SATA II HDD's (Storage)
I want to set up a very simple server with the 2TB HDD's mirrored and using the ZFS file system. The server is to be browseble by Windows 7, Windows XP and XBMC.
I have created the ZFS volume 'Media01', mirrored, then created a Windows Share named 'Media'.
I am unable to browse the 'Media' share from my Windows 7 PC, this clearly means that i have missed something when setting the new server up.
Is there a simple guide to setting up a Freenas 8 server.
I need a guide which will tell me how to add drives, create shares and set it up for browsing. I do not understand in which order i need to do things, i also do not know what to do etc.
This process was easy in version 7 but version 8 is clearly different.
Also, i have backed up my old server data onto an external 2TB HDD, how to i copy this data into the new 'Media' share, Freenas 8 does not have a file management system like Freenas 7.
Thanks
