SOLVED OS on USB w/no storage found

[Darkhlmt]

So,

I'm running FreeNAS on a UBS drive. I have two hard drives in the machine. I'm in FreeNAS and can move about. However, I cannot get the computer to find the drives. I have walked through the guide and haven't been able to resolve.

I shall continue my attempts. But, if anyone can help point me in the right direction. I do greatly appreciate it!

ZFS Volume Manager won't let you create a pool out of drives of different sizes. You can use the Manual Setup button but you will get terrible performance on drives that different in size and the pool will be limited by the size of the smaller disk.

Would that prevent me from even seeing the phyiscal disks through FreeNAS.

As an FYI, I'm still a child in linux terms. I have been attempting to identify errors that have occurred and the only one that I've located and fixed was an issue with date/time. Now, I'm looking for a way to pause the output of dmesg. As of right now I use the command and it just spits out a bunch of info to which I can only see the last part.

Can you remove this post. I completely missed a section regarding bios settings. I have corrected the issue which was addressed in another thread.

Finally,

Solved my no detection issue. Within the HP bios for this computer I had to change the default from Legacy to Native IDE. Once I did that, drives popped up no problem.

Thank you to all for the help!
