Hi folks, today was my first time trying to set up freenas and I ended up going through the wizard 3 times before I finally caught the error about the pool name: when you're in the wizzard, it doesn't complain at all about the name beginning with a number, it's only after you click the apply button - and then it shows the progress box for a few seconds, long enough for me to think it's working and switch to a different tab. I came back and it appeared to have completed without any errors.. but I didn't appear to have any usable storage. I clicked around for a while and eventually gave up and tried the wizard again.
The second time through I just happened to notice the green box at the top right as it was fading away, and I was finally able to read the message the third time through.
It would have been a much more pleasant experience if the wizzard had actually pointed out the issue right away, or if that's not feasible, then at least leave the error message on the screen.
The fourth time through I just named it "pool" and things seem to be working better.
