Classic FTP for ipod instal2/23/2024 I've not had an opportunity to try the BSD memtest yet. the MiniDLNA and Transmission combination means I only have to work out a mini PC to run iTunes for a classic iPod - that'll be the end of (user) PCs in my house. The system as is does a good job, I like FreeNAS, and will continue using it. I'm using ZFS because the disks I have are old (and free) from work - so raidZ has already proved it's worth (one drive DOA, two have failed in use so far - I expect to have a bad initial failure rate then for it to settle down)Īffording a 64 bit system would be lovely, but it's not going to happen for a while - this has cost me £12* so far (to get a supported PCIe SATA card). I've done a fair bit of reading around ZFS on "low" memory systems, and given that performance is not important to me (I'll be pulling some overnight backups, but the greatest other load will be the Transmission plugin and a single device streaming over the LAN) with prefetch disabled and a few other memory tweaks combined with not doing dedupe etc the system should be OK. Yes it supports USB booting - in various modes. (would be annoying in terms of bay space, not to mention a bit wasteful) CNET Download provides free downloads for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices across all categories of software and apps, including security, utilities. Ideas anyone? I'm pretty much all out and am considering popping an IDE disk in there to get it running. OK - let's try the image straight to USB - both an unbranded stick and the kingston stick have the same issue. Tried it with two unbranded 8GB sticks, a 4 GB SD card in a reader and a 32GB Kingston stick (which I know boots, because it's my memtest stick and I ran memtest on the box) Claims to have completed and asks to to remove CD and reboot (when it should say reboot and remove CD, but hey) On bootup I get a few SCSI errors, but the process says it's happy and starts up - installs to a USB stick. I'd therefore like to get FreeNAS running, with low performance expectations, but ideally RAIDZ running just serving one, or maybe two media devices over DLNA/NFS - when they're not in use it will act as a backup device for a bunch of stuff, but no serious load. I have a P4 system which is going spare, and a bunch of HDDs from a decommissioned storage array at work.
