NAS Crashes Constantly

[BamBamm]

Every time I try to install Plex via the "Plugins", the system crashes.

I finally got Plex installed but if I try to edit it, I get the same error.

 

[BamBamm]

Even though it says Plex is installed and running, I can not access it via the URL.

 

[dlavigne]

That typically means a network error prevented the completion of the install. Post the following within code tags:
1. complete output of ifconfig
2. output of more /etc/resolv.conf
3. output of netstat -rn
4. output of tail -20 /var/log/messages (after a failed install)
Also, are there any proxies or firewalls within the network?

 

[BamBamm]

There are no firewalls or proxies within the network.

Code:

This error ONLY happens when I create a new plugin. I just spent the last 3 hours in FreeNAS. I created several users (and deleted them) and created 8 new data sets. This error started after I deleted the NEW Plex plugin/jail. Could data have been corrupted? Where would I look?

 

[dlavigne]

Were you able to resolve this or figure out the cause?

 

[BamBamm]

No, I was not and now my system is stuck on version 9.2. I can not find a way to update the system at all.

 

[rvassar]

Were you trying to use 11.2-U2? There's a serious bug in the Jail networking stuff.

 

[BamBamm]

Yes, I think that is the version I was trying to use.

I'm holding off upgrading off 11.2-U1 until it's resolved.

 

[BamBamm]

Thank you. Too bad my FreeNAS system is totaled. Maybe when they fix 11.2-U1 I will try to reinstall freeNAS

I found a work around that may help. basically reserve the ip address on your DHCP server (or in the DHCP section of your home router). Then when you set up your plugin (in my case plex) switch off DHCP, set IPV4 interface to bridge0, enter your reserved ip address, select a netmask (i went for 24) and click save.

Not sure if there is a better way to get the mac address of the plex server but I found it by setting up plex with DHCP switched on and then watching the DHCP server. for me the plex server was set-up with the dhcp server before it failed, so I was able to nab the mac address before it was removed.

Thanks, I will try this if i can get FreeNAS working.
