Well, I managed to get myself built. All the smoke stayed where it belonged. FreeNAS is installed and running. I managed to get the SAS2308 firmware updated to version 20. So far, so good. Working with a clean slate.
(Confidence growing.)
- Alright, I think it’s time to do some hardware testing. jgreco has a nice post stickied all about that. Wow! There’s even a script! Let’s get that going.
- Okay, how do I do that? Run the script from shell.
- How do I get it there? Transfer it from USB.
- Okay, how? You still gotta mount it first.
- Right. I’ll just look for some info about that. Plenty of suggestions from various places. The only thing they all have in common is a warning that you can muck your ish up really good if you do it wrong. The commands, however, all seem different depending on who’s saying it.
- Oh, boy. Not feeling much like guessing wrong and crashing good.
- Now what?
(Confidence dropping.)
Me searching the forums and the FreeNAS manual.
Also me searching the FreeBSD manual.
Just due to the sheer volume of information, I could really use some focus. Where should I direct my attention to find the information I need to competently wrangle shell commands, specifically in the context of accomplishing useful FreeNAS tasks (like running the burn-in script - as an example). I'm sure I'll get it eventually, but I'd sure appreciate any head start someone would be willing to share with me.
Thanks
