765368 2009-04-15 23:49:00 I have looked at FreeNAS, is there any others i should look at? Or is there better ones? aidanmaz (7180)
765369 2009-04-15 23:56:00 My personal favourite is Freenas, but you can try out OpenFiler (www.openfiler.com/) and ClarkConnect (http:) Blam (54)
765370 2009-04-16 00:03:00 only thing with freenas, i dont what link to download, as i get confused when it says read only for RAM drive....

I have a whole system for it, which link do i use to download the program? i dont want to run it from a cd, i want to install it.

765372 2009-04-16 04:06:00 wonderful system xD Now in regards to sharing and mount points.... Im using esx3i server, to virtualise FreeNAS, with 512MB RAM, and a 120MB system drive.

i want to create a 20GB Media drive, so i added it into the disks management, which is fine. now how would i go about making the shares: music, photos and videos? I figured out how to make one share called media, but i want seperate shares instead.

do i need to create a mountpoint? or am i doing it wrong?

765373 2009-04-16 06:46:00 You need to create a new mountpoint Blam (54)
765374 2009-04-16 09:33:00 ok i used a VM to test it all out and its good, so i thought i would put it on a real machine, It wont go on, i get to the screen with the boot loader choices, then after a minute of processing, it restarts the machine.

Its a HP DX6100 MT very decent, i dont know whats wrong

765376 2009-04-16 09:47:00 no ra5d at all. Just IDE and SATA

really odd, when i vm it, i can hear a high pitched noise.... which no one else seems to hear.....so that why i want to make it real...

765377 2009-04-16 09:55:00 Weird....you can check out their knowledgebase but that is weird indeed.

Unplug all the hard drives and see if it works
