One of FreeNAS 8's most important features is full support for the ZFS filesystem. With the periodic snapshots feature, you can worry less about data loss, and use your system stress free. If your data is somehow lost, FreeNAS™ makes it easy to restore from a previously generated snapshot. This gives anyone building their own FreeNAS device or re-purposing old hardware a wide selection of hardware choices.

So if you're a savvy user, and prefer to use the command line, no problem! ssh in, and control your FreeNAS™ device from the FreeNAS custom CLI.įreeNAS is based on FreeBSD 8.2 and features much of the same driver support.

Remote Replication allows you to copy a snapshot to an offsite server, for maximum data security.įreeNAS is based on FreeBSD 8.x, and will update and keep current with the FreeBSD project. When paired with ZFS, it becomes easy to manage your total data pool size, and quickly and effectively grow to meet your users needs as they use more of their allotted space. Thin Provisioning allows the administrator to allocate users more space than physically exists in the system. Thin Provisioning is another excellent addition to the FreeNAS™ features list.

The FreeNAS installer set up will boot up.As soon as the PC booted up with the FreeNAS, you will get a black window with the option to boot the FreeNAS.Restart the PC and boot it using the FreeNAS bootable thumb drive which created above.Now I assumed that you have attached both USB drives (the one you FreeNAS bootable we made above and other one blank at least 8GB) to your computer system.You should have one spare which we will use to install the FreeNAS bootable and other system files. Note: You can’t install FreeNAS on the same bootable USB drive. Once it has done! Let the FreeNAS bootable USB drive as it is and attach one more blank pen drive where we will install the FreeNAS OS. It will take a few minutes to the tool to create a bootable FreeNAS USB drive. After that select the USB drive from the right side drop-down box.
