Freenas 9.2.18 server , CIFS services unable to start
-
Dear Team,
My customer Freenas server 9.2.1.8 , CIFS services unable to start. I using testparm command shows samba.config files is missing ... please provide solution for this urgent base. They do not have any backup. Thanks
-
FreeNAS and no backups? Argh. Welcome to why FreeNAS is never recommended.
-
Hello Friend, have any solution for above issue. Please help me ?
-
Do you have information as to what the configuration was before? You might be able to recreate the settings via FreeNAS.
-
Obviously the best course of action is to build a proper file server, get backups working, then migrate their data over.
-
Now , I installed New Freenas server and enable rsync tool to copy data from problem freenas to new freenas zpool volume.

Why are you using FreeNAS again? Have they not learned their lesson?
-
My company suggested this freenas to customer.... Can you please suggestion for any upgraded freenas version ?

CentOS or Ubuntu would be better options generally speaking. Is there a specific reason why FreeNAS was chosen?
Using CentOS or Ubuntu you have access to MD-Raid which is software RAID. Which this FreeNAS box is most likely using anyways.

Correctly Freenas release Freenas corral new software ... it is good for new implementation ???

There is really no case where FreeNAS should be used. Did you read the article? FreeNAS adds risk without value. If you feel FreeNAS is the right choice for a customer, FreeBSD is always better.

ok Friend... I will read the article about Freenas Corral.

Why? They have a terrible track record. Why would you be interested in Corral? Especially as they claim to be the first open source HC platform when they are not.
In what way is it going to meet your needs? Your response to being burned by FreeNAS here is to look into more FreeNAS? That seems a very odd response. I'm not saying that Corral will be bad, it is interesting for sure. But it is WAY too early to consider it, it is not applicable to your needs and this is exactly the opposite reaction you should have and doesn't match the discussion we just had.

Doing a fresh install of Corral, this is all that I get. No documentation, not apparent way to set network settings, nothing runs.

This makes no sense at all! CentOS Ubuntu, FreeBSD are all open source and overall better options when compared to FreeNAS....
What are you missing?
-
One more trouble? Or epic fail?
I've had one with FreeNAS, and it was enough for me. It was RAID10, complete data loss. It was only backup target, luckily for me and my client. Moved to pure Samba. -

That makes no sense. Needing an open source file server is great. Using FreeNAS is not. You know that FreeNAS has problems, why are you using it? Your customer needing an open source file server should never lead you to FreeNAS. There is no logic in this statement or your continued use of it.

Moved to pure Samba.I talk to customers all the time that have lost their data because of bugs in FreeNAS. It's quite common. That GUI adds a lot of places for mistakes to get made.

I have to channel Jared here...
