Hello, I need to import a volume into 11.2 RC2 from 11.1 U3. The volume was encrypted but after adding a new drive I had hot yet rekeyed it when the usb holding freenas failed. Now freenas can see the encrypted volume and I need to know If I can get into it because it had not been re-keyed.

Thank you all.

Thank's guys. Where do you buy from these days? I have a GTX 750 TI and it plays everything, my worry is that with only 2GB ram the new open worlders will overwhelm the memory.

Where's the best place to buy gpu's from these days?, ebay's getting dodgy.

That's what I thought, thanks. That's a $1000 card, with all these nock-off's flooding the market due to the minors, how many people do you thing they rip off. Thanks again.

Could anyone that is following graphics card prices tell me if this a bull or not. Thanks, https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-Gaming-OC-11GB-Graphics-Video-Card/292767501941?epid=2256100130&hash=item442a4d8e75:g:JKoAAOSwr3xbv5zg:rk:3:pf:0

should add though, for 10 000RMB (1477USD) you can buy or build a top end computer. I did and only used ~$800 AUD which i think is about 70c to us dollar. but it still stands and pre-built system with a card will do nicely.

any prebuilt pc say hp desktop with a graphics card added will do fine. you can go onto ebay and search for core i7 computer, core i7 being the processor. then get a gforce gtx 960 ish, cheep and simple do anything pc. Note: graphics cards are still a little expensive due to crypto miners so take your time and search, I'm always happy to help out.

Ok thank you Electronics Wizardy

Oh, so Proxmox might be able to make the shares available with no VM installed. Thank you very much for your help Leadeater, I might use virtualbox to have a play around with these.Take care

The licence is also for windows server? I will look into that then. I haven't gone and used the image's yet I'm waiting to hear what you guy's say. So should I use this Proxmox instead of ESXI? either way I'll figure out how to use it.

Ok. well it's a hacked version i'm to poor to pay but if windows will let me put one big share on the network while using minimal system resources then that's what I want. Then I can expand the mirror when the time comes and have program compatibility. Windows server also ha that RoFs file system, How do you guy's feel about that?

Yes, this one had a usb inside on the motherboard that i'm using, the next gen had the SD card

So Proxmox is very similar to ESXI but with different and/or added features. I'm open to it, I'm really using ESXI so I can view the system and manage remotely without SSH-ing into the OS. I just don't kknow witch OS is easier to make network shared of my storage space.

Sorry I should have been more detailed. It's a HP Proliant DL380 G5 which has a p400 raid card, 4x2TB drives in mirror so I only see 2. I know freeNAS goes from my usb to the RAM, If the other OS didn't do the same ill install an ssd for the os and leave the storage free.

Hello my friends. I currently have a server with freeNAS running Plex and NextCloud on it and it has been working great. The problem is that I found out about how difficult it is to add HDD to my one big share as well as lack of software support software for freeNAS. I want to BOINC/FOLD, Plex, and do openHAB type stuff and creating a VM to do this on dosen't solve the fact that I can't really add HDD to my ZFS in freeNAS. I would Like to use ESXI and either linux server or windows server 2016 creating one big storage share available to the network. Could anyone with insight suggest which way to go with the operating system.

Gaming Laptop, You can get a bargain with a second hand one with a Graphics Card in it. Or get a raspberry PI and run Classic Nintendo games on it. that can be run of a phone power pack. A Retro Pi it's called

Every CPU is a tiny bit different. Go with the best thermal paste, get a baseline at standard clock and go in increments from there.

Cool, I'll run a VM then and give it the Gigabit card. Thanks again

I'm running freeNAS so pfSence will be in a jail which is the same as a vm but for programs. If I give it 2GB Ram, 1 3ghz Core, and 5GB HDD should that do?

The pfSence won't use much resources will it. This is my storage server with plex.

Thank you.

Yes excellent idea, this could also work with another router couldn't it, either way i'd have all traffic running through the router firewall and the pfSence firewall that would have to keep the freeNAS server safe. Thanks

Hello everyone. I have a HP Server with 2 gigabit LAN built in but it also had a PCI-X card with 2 gigabit connections on it. I know i can run pfSence on this card to add a firewall other than the routers one but will it's location make a difference. Currently I have the phone cable come into a router, the WIFI goes to Phones and Wife's Laptop, the only LAN in use goes to a Netgear switch that has my PC and FreeNAS Server, Playstation, and Soon security camera's. I know if I run the cable from the router to the switch through pfSence it will protect the server and everything on the switch but not the WIFI. Is there another way to set this up that will protect everything? Any Help is Appreciated.

When it comes to monitors many have the same features. I'd start looking for LG, Sony, ASUS, Samsung and other top end brands, they all offer low cost solutions and second hand ones are going to hold up because the components used are of a much better quality which will make a difference by it's self. Bad brands with all the features can have worse image that basic good brand monitors.
