Greetings all,

I've read "ZFS Storage Design and Other FreeNAS Information" written by Cyberjock and tried to retain what I can. I'd like to order a UPS (was thinking a APC - Back-UPS 900VA) before I'm completely up and running. I'd like to install 9.10 stable with plex and transmission. Anyway, I tried reading a few installation guides and I'm not really sure which one to use. Any recommendations on great guides that don't skim over important information and are not 1000 pages long :)? I've used linux before (long time ago) but not FreeBSD.

Specs of interest:
8 core intel 2.4ghz with AES-NI
16gb DDR3 ECC
gigabit ethernet
4x3TB WD Red


Thanks!

These two goals are inherently incompatible. Ok, they aren't really; a guide that covered everything that might be important would be far more than 1000 pages long. But the manual is good, and the guide in my sig is also good.

Documentation has everything you could possibly need.

http://doc.freenas.org/9.10/

If that were true, we wouldn't have any need for a forum would we :)

Thank you. I didn't see an updated uncle fester here (for 9.10).

The official doc is only 330 pages or so. ;-) If you'd like it in a PDF or ePub format, see my signature.
