![]() ![]() I'll read your write up to see if it helps. Many of the answers were old, and most gave no information that helped my specific case. I'm usually good at Google search so I was surprised I found so little. Jgreco: Things in the real world rarely work as well as the theoretical best case scenario. Why, for the love of God, did you buy hardware before you started asking questions? Complexity killed the cat-#1010b times!" I'm perhaps abnormally risk-adverse because I come from a Windows Server environment where the motto is, " If it ain't broke, it will be." ZFS eats RAM like a fat man at an all-you-can-eat fried chicken buffet. My bad experience with Seagate stopped immediately after I stopped buying them :) It's actually using very advanced quantum sorcery, but since Unix is Unix, everything gets dumped into the decidedly classical standard output, so that people can do Unix things to it like "pipe it through SSH" or "pipe it into a file" or "pipe it straight to zfs recv" or "pipe it into cat and immediately get arrested by the Unix police because why the !%#& would you use cat to view a text file, much less a zfs replication stream". No offense we care more about your data than your feelings. I hope that every byte of this data is either disposable, or is well backed up, sir. OP, just for the record, having a "4 drive stripe", on a scale of ZFS stupidity from 1 to 10, is a 9.998, behind only having a "5 drive stripe". The correct storage configuration with this model hard drive is as deep in a landfill as possible. ![]() I guess I could ask my Ex (she works for HGST) for some discount drives but they may be filled with C4 vs Helium. Though the fans are rated for 800-1500 rpm (downhill, with a tail-wind, and a moon in the third phase of Venus and with 64-byte UDP packets) We're talking catastrophic PSU failure, massive undetected RAM failure, physical destruction, alien high-intensity degaussing beams, extreme heat or the presence of Linus from LinusTechTips in the same room as the server. You need to change your problem so that lines up with my solution. I sourced most of this from it's too funny to not share. One of the things I learned by observation is on forums, if you ask a question an nobody responds it's because members have already answered the question in great detail many, many times in many threads and are simply burned out. If you don't mind some friendly advice that will probably save you a lot of time, start out by using the Search feature and read a bumch of the results. ![]() ![]() Also, UEFI mode is not generally supported in older HP systems so the USB drive has to be set up as a Legacy boot device.Īlso, the on-board RAID will eventually cause problems if not disabled. There are several settings in HP BIOS that need to be changed in order to boot from USB drive, which I'm sure you're aware of. If you're really interested on the fine details I have a large writeup on Github under Rufus regarding Rufus looking as if it is "corrupting" or "destroying" USB flash drives which it actually is not (same username).in HP With the method I've detailed I've created several more USB emergency drives that continue to work without issue and other systems (the problem isn't HP specific, but HP with their custom BIOS is generally problematic-in fact any custom HP BIOS in any devide generally causes problems with non-vendor specific drivers and software). It may or may not be your problem, which presents oddly and differently each time I've run into it. If you use Advanced Search, the terms Rufus and Ventoy, and my profile name, I've gone into detail on why some USB drives don't boot with some HP BIOS and how to get around it. Years ago I sucessfully installed FreeNAS on an old server so I know I am capable if I can find simple step by step instructions. If I am going to need Linux or Unix knowledge to install and maintain this maybe I need to loo for something else. I am absolutely NOT a Linux guy so everything I am doing is on Windows devices. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Pretty sure it's not relevant here, but the device I am trying to install on is a HP Gen8 Microserver with 16GB of RAM and a 64bit Celeron CPU, I tried to boot both off a laptop too so I know they are definitely not working as bootable USBs. I even copied both ISOs to one of my Hyper-V servers at work and neither booted. I watched the video on the site and followed the exact instructions. So I tried two other USB devices and also tried downloading another version from Github. Hi, I downloaded the core version ISO from TrueNAS and tried both Rufus and BalenaEtcher to create a bootable USB from it. ![]()
