I recently pulled out my drives from one box where I had installed Freenas after having issues with a SATA port on the motherboard. Plugged in the same drives onto another MB and now I am getting the Yellow flashing light in the GUI that my ZFZ status is unknown as well as performance issues streaming wired video despite adding a PCI Gigabit card. Also, boot up time is very slow

Both CPU's were similar in speed and RAM.

Was there another step involved that I should have done before swapping drives? Should I have done a fresh install with the new MB?

Thanks!!

Did you export/import your settings? I had recently done the same thing and just imported my settings and then FreeNAS seemed to take care of the rest.

NO I didnt, just swapped hardware. Sounds like that might be the issue!

DoubleIPA, could you point me in the right direction on how to import/export settings? That's the first step Ill try to resolve this. Thanks!

thanks for the reply. Not sure what you mean by CODE tags?

When writing the reply, hit the button with the brackets and pound/hash symbol in the toolbar. That will put code tags around your text. It keeps the formatting of your text so it looks correct when it shows up in the thread.

So looks like I have 2 video files that are giving me the issue with the below errors. Am I assuming then that all I have to do is delete these 2 files and all is good. However, I can't seem to delete them no matter what i do! Through Terminal, command "rm" gave me "resource busy. When move to trash, error "cannot be completed since it's in use."

Not sure what else to try.

Otherwise, videos are playing as before without buffering. It just would be nice to get these errors taken care of.

I know this is now off topic, but would appreciate any ideas! Thanks for all the help!!

As far as I know, there is no way to recover those two files. Though I'd be more concerned about how they were corrupted than clearing the error and moving on.

Looks like you only have one drive in your pool. Is that correct? With one drive you have no way to recover in the event of an error, like you had with those two files. If the next error happens in metadata, your pool will be toast, not just a file.

What are your system specs?

Yes, I have only 1 drive. Before I added a PCI Sata card, I was only able to have 1 drive with this MB. I also wasn't able to use a USB to boot from in the current BIOS to house Freenas, so another drive is being used for that.

So...moving forward. Going through the manual, it would appear that I would need an additional 2 drives minumim for adequate backup and data protection and redundancy?

I really only use FREENAS for a home theater setup running PLEX. However, I store photos that I would want better data protection.

Specs should be in my signature. Thanks!

You have far too little RAM on a computer that's probably 12 years old. ZFS on FreeNAS needs a minimum of 8Gb of RAM. With so little RAM, you're likely to have serious problems in the future. We've seen people lose all their data due to insufficient memory.

If you want to continue with FreeNAS you'll need more modern hardware. See the sticky for some suggestions.

I did see those reccomendations on the page you linked to. A lot more money is needed than I otherwise thought!

Am I correct in the 3 drive assumption?

Also, any suggestions on correcting those errors or could I just leave them? Thanks again

Thanks for all the help!

While I am on the hunt for a new NAS build, how can I delete these corrupt files? Nothing seems to be working. Thanks again!
