With a Xeon E3-1220 v2 I would just reiterate the need to moniotr your cpu/system temps and look over this link again: https://homeservershow.com/forums/topic/6415-gen8-xeon-e3-1220v2/
set timeout=10 set default=0 menuentry "FreeNAS" --class freebsd --class bsd --class os { insmod zfs insmod ext2 insmod part_gpt echo Chainloading hd5 ... set root=(hd5) chainloader +1 }
EDIT: Have you tried making the USB GRUB drive with DOS MBR and single ext2 formatted partition?
Great news, there are many ways to get from point A to point B, and this should work fine for the boot device.Regardless, I bought a StarTech.com SATA-to-USB cable earlier this week to connect my FreeNAS SSD to the internal USB port, which has finally solved my booting problem, so I'm not stuck anymore (even if it's not ideal)!
Hello everyone, first post and about to pull the trigger on my Windows 10 Gen 8.... (Its been good to me but it time to go!)
Guys with a Gen 8 what is the best use for an SSD? I'm new to FreeNAS and what to put the SSD to its best use (I really want to be kind to my RAM though as this will be my Plex server and the GEN 8 doesn't support much!)
thanks...
BTW jbduncan - temps are a ***** with the GEN 8, I suggest you get Noctua fan and replace the main fan as it way too loud, and plaster on some heatsinks as I did (FYI it turnout to be a doggy HD!)
Bit of a necro, sorry, but you may like to know about my favourite UK source of server grade kit at https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/UK prices and avalibility of server grade kit make the ideal FreeNAS build much less affordable than in the US.
