Hi, i'm new in the FreeNas community.
I recently acquired an old pc that is still entirely functional.
I wanted to test FreeNas for myself so i bought 3 HDD to plug in and installed FreeNas on a usb stick.
Everything looked fine except when i tried to launch FreeNas from the usb stick.
Some writing error was repeating:
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): WRITE(10). CDB: (some random access hexa 10 characters number)
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM status: CCB request completed with an error
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Retrying command
...
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0):Error 5, Retries exhausted
...
So i made a little bit of research and found out that something could be wrong with my hard drives. So i plugged back a drive with Windows 10 to find out my NAS drives where not "initialised" (by initialised i do NOT mean formatted. To format them, i need them to be initialised for some reason).
So i thought that was it and rebooted FreeNas and it worked.
I could access the Web UI, but stopped my testing there for the moment (i haven't change anything in the settings).
One day later, the Web UI was no longer avalaible, but the computer was responding to ping requests.
It was a message that was repeating:
FreeBSD/amd64 (freenas.local) (ttyv0)
...
I decided to reboot the machine.
The error showed up once, then the interface menu with 11 options.
I thought it was good for one day or so or until i find some answers and solutions, but the first writing error occured again several minutes later.
Something tells me that the "da0" thing isn't a hard drive, but my usb stick.
I rebooted it another time and got the writing error without passing by the menu.
Here are the old PC specs:
Motherboard: Asus p51d2
CPU: unknown
RAM: 4GB (4 x 1GB)
For what i know, my build is pretty weak, but still able to run FreeNas.
Do you think i can fix my installation to make it work properly on this machine?
What did i do wrong?
