Can you post "gpart show"?

If there is any partition info the GUI may think it's in use. Also you didn't mention which version of FreeNAS you're using.

im using FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-x86 (10351).

here is the result of gpart show

:) Yes... it looks like you have FreeNAS installed on your harddrive, and I don't see any USB flash drive.

Did you not understand FreeNAS was supposed to be installed on a USB flash drive?

 

[humberjet]

sorry im just new with freenas.. so do you mean freenas should be run on flash drive?

Yes, it would probably be better to use a 4GB, some of the 2GB's are less than 2GB and it won't install correctly.

Look in my signature in the post above, there are links for the documentation and YouTube videos on how to install it.

i see.. ok ill try it to install it to my usb flash drive.. ill get back if it is perfectly done

 

[humberjet]

what if if I create another partition, where I could reside the freenas..

No, I'm sorry that won't work. You should read the documentation some, this question has been asked here many times already.

 

[humberjet]

it works.. I used USB. I can now see the drive.

what I amazed is that.. our primary freenas was not running using USB.. it runs on its own drive.. but unfortunately if I view the storage.. same thing it doesnt show the drive.
but what is unique is you can see that there is /mnt folder..

Iam creating new freenas for replication of our primary freenas.
