Sorry to hear this, I hope you dont end up losing any data. As for what you may be doing wrong, well there's a few things. Firstly you may want to post your question at the FreeNAS forum's as they may be more equipped to help. Secondly, you would need to provide some information about your setup (FreeNAS version, hardware type, drive configuration at the very least) and thirdly, you have provided no information on the actual error, "it says error." is not enough for anyone to be able to help you. Again, sorry you are having problems. Quote
shonen Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah mounting the drives with freeNAS is a bit off a sod, especially the one that has the UNIX operating system on it seeing as the drive number is a spacific one. Now I cant remember how to do it off the top off my head seeing as it has been a while, however I found the PDF for it self explanatary and really usefully the last time I had to do it. http://www.freenas.org/downloads/docs/user...FreeNAS-SUG.pdf Also once you get the drives working don't forget to turn on the CIFS/SAMBA option other wise your nix and windows boxes wont be able to access it. Download and save a copy for future referce (trust me it comes in handy) Quote
shonen Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Bloody stupid EEE and my busted keyboard, makes me double post. In any case I hope the above helps. Quote

Just unmount your shit and start again following this tutorial. http://dailycupoftech.com/configuring-disks-in-freenas/ Fuck its a pitty I don't have my documentation for my NAS config, I unfortunately lost it all when the hdd died, I really need to buy a new one.
