But to be honest it's been over 5 years since I wrote this so I can't remember how. I'd recommend searching for guides ok FreeNAS.<br /><br />In regard to the other points, I have the same issue. I know the drive lights are controller by windows, so you won't get them on. And I don't know why exactly the health light flashes, but mine does that too.Ross Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172409885911980598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650388229530480485.post-13509879597568369392016-11-21T23:50:32.309+00:002016-11-21T23:50:32.309+00:00Hello, Thanks to your excellent instructions I was...Hello, Thanks to your excellent instructions I was able to successfully install FreeNAS on my dying HP Data Vault 2TB 4Bay tower.<br />I added a disk in bay 2 and I am able to copy, read and transfer files in and out.<br />I do have a couple of minor questions:<br />1. In FreeNAS-9.10.1 application My drive does not show up in Storage -> Volume manager -> Available disks. It is blank. Though It is displayed in "View disks" - ada1 - 2.0TB....<br />2. On the tower, the "Health Light" keeps blinking<br />3. The Light bars for the 2 drives do not light up.<br />Any suggestions?<br />Thanks<br />cedsarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247179757588302679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650388229530480485.post-4176868218606687732016-11-06T23:41:04.368+00:002016-11-06T23:41:04.368+00:00I want to see how black looks personally but the b...I want to see how black looks personally but the backing for black is awful and unusable!

This has finally died for me.<br /><br />I have no idea why as I've not diagnosed it yet. but I just can't see it on the network anymore even after several restarts.<br /><br />May be an Issue with FreeNAS OS on the USB Drive, or a hardware issue with the Server itself. it got slow for a while and then just stopped reporting in so it may actually be a HDD issue since they have been constantly spinning how for years.Ross Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172409885911980598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650388229530480485.post-29990391554063621052016-09-06T05:40:51.432+01:002016-09-06T05:40:51.432+01:00Thanks for the information.

Found this post and decided to try it. The install worked perfectly as described for me but I was concerned about the memory use - I only have 2gB in my ex490. Some users had commented that a low memory install could create problems. So I looked into Nas4Free which is very similar but does not seem to have the same memory requirements.<br /><br />Downloaded the Live CD and booted my laptop from the CD. I then installed the 'embedded' install onto a 8gB USB stick from the LiveCD (it's a menu choice). Next I booted my laptop from the USB stick and configured the NIC. <br /><br />I made sure I could login to the web interface from my desktop and then shutdown the laptop. Inserted the USB stick into the 490 and powered it up (no bottom drive). Configured 2 x 1gB drives as mirrors, setup some shares and it's working like a champ.<br /><br />Seems to me that either NAS system will work in the 490 (or 495). Thanks for the inspiration!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18255343191613995413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650388229530480485.post-52555154690415796982015-06-09T08:56:03.254+01:002015-06-09T08:56:03.254+01:00Hi Ross, yes I can confirm, this unfortunately is ...Hi Ross, yes I can confirm, this unfortunately is not working anymore.

FreeNAS recommends that amount. R...@Robert Kadish<br /><br />FreeNAS recommends that amount. Really it is recommended to have 750mb 1GB of ram for every TB of hard drive space + an extra GB for the system if you are going to ZFS (RAIDZ). You can instead use other raid setups.<br /><br />You can easily upgrade your ram model to 4GB (kind of easily) If you are going to use smaller drives like 1TB or smaller then 4GB should be enough for ZFS. If you are going to be using 2TB drives then you should use a different raid setup.<br /><br />Not entirely sure if the MediaSmart can handle 3TB and large drives... If it can and you use them DO NOT use ZFS!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314159252820245463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650388229530480485.post-3464267668073973192015-01-20T02:53:21.705+00:002015-01-20T02:53:21.705+00:00Every now and then my husband does the same thing,...Every now and then my husband does the same thing, I see him modifying a game he's been playing for a while and then just beating the living crap out of everything. =)Or giving himself money to keep going, cheating to keep it fun. <br />I'm not much of a gamer, but I have fond childhood memories of looking through the code with my brother and unlocking every single level of Chips Challenge to get past the levels we couldn't beat.
