I have a problem with version 13 FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE
The system was installed and worked well and the disks were added and shared with Windows and everything was fine, sending files to the disks and everything was fine
Now the problem happened to me when connecting the computer that has 13 FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE on it to the Internet line, I wrote my dns 68.6.16.25, I am from Yemen, in order to download the Plex Media Server add-on on 13 FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE, and when connecting the Internet with 13 FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE, I noticed a heaviness and the device was very slow and the inability to use 13 FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE
I tried to solve the problem by formatting the system and returning it again without connecting to the Internet, and after formatting and connecting the hard disk to the system as you before in the same group and user and name, it works slowly and does not connect with
Those aren’t links, and I’m not going to watch a video (once I figure out how to find it) to figure out your problem. Please explain in detail what’s going on. This post gives suggestions of the kinds of information that can help us help you:
@user5
Please understand that the majority of our supporters do not like to click on external links, virus stuff you know. You can post stuff directly into the forums, well a lot of things.
I will click on an external like if @dan posted it, i trust him after years of interactions. But we don’t know you. Hopefully you understand our point of view.
As for upgrading to TrueNAS 13.3, FreeNAS really is not supported, but if you post details, someone may be able to help you.
The 1st video say “out of swap space”, the 2nd video don’t say much either.
I understand that language is a barrier. But … there is no explanation.
I’d say export all the setting and upgrade. Else, take the time to explain the problem. Maybe some one will answer. But that version is well beyond unsupported.
I could not help
also, the date is wrong. ( 2003/12/31 )
The BIOS battery is dead.
Everything you mentioned previously I agree with you on, and it is golden words, but
What bothers me a lot is that everything was working fine without connecting to the Internet, and when connected, problems occurred
But I can summarize my problem as follows
When I installed the freenas 11 system, it worked beautifully and quickly for me. I uploaded my files, including movies and media, without any problems, and all of that without connecting it to the Internet.
Now when I connect the freenas 11 system to the Internet in order to install the Plex Media Server add-on
The problem is that the system is slow to a very large extent. I have not suffered from it before, even though I did not modify any of the settings or hardware. All of this is explained in the video that I uploaded and some of you watched. I also thank you and you very much for trying to help me.
Thank you very much for your interaction with me. I will change the BIOS battery and adjust the time and date, but is it the cause of the problem? The system is very heavy. I do not think so. Rather, when connecting the device to the Internet, the system knew that it was no longer supported, and that is why the problems occurred.
A system clock that is way off can often have very unpredictable networking results. I think the suggestion above is a good one, and will likely resolve that specific issue.
This is a bad thing, very bad. You say you have a modest system, how modest? You “should” never need to use Swap Space. If you do, then you ran out of RAM. FreeNAS 11 should run fine on 8GB RAM and still support a Plex jail that doesn’t do much other than offer up media content (transcoding may not be an option), however if you have less RAM, or more applications running on your server, you will need more RAM.
As @patrickkeane said, Date/Time can really mess with networking so once that is fixed, hopefully all works well.
If problems persist, list your hardware specs. This is quite possibly the issue.
Yes, the capabilities or hardware of the computer are modest, not the operating system
As for the programs or add-ons that I added, I have not added anything yet, and I mean Plex Media Server or something else.
I will try adjusting the time and battery bios
Thank you for following
No. That is not the reason. The system is not design to do that.
You should share with us ( them, am not troubleshooting ) hard drive type, size and age. Also, memory type and amount/size, motherboard and CPU.
The details of your hardware and software. Otherwise is a guessing game.
Northbridge Intel i945G/GZ rev. A2
Southbridge Intel 82801GB (ICH7) rev. 01
Memory Type DDR2
Memory Size 1024 MBytes
Memory Frequency 332.5 MHz (3:5)
CAS# 5.0
RAS# to CAS# 5
RAS# Precharge 5
Cycle Time (tRAS) 15
Bank Cycle Time (tRC) 21
These are the specifications of the device I am talking about. I know that they are below zero and are not useful
But the system was installed on it and it worked, and the media files were uploaded and shared with the Windows system without problems, and I watched movies without interruption or any problems via an RG45 wire and via wifi, and everything was fine and without problems.
Until I had a ridiculous idea that I hated, which was to connect the device to the Internet and install a Plex Media Server
I haven’t installed it yet or reserved RAM space or anything. Rather, I connected the internet cable and turned on the device and the problems occurred.
Your system was using swap as memory. Very bad. If you install Plex, worst.
In any case, DDR2. That has to be old, like, very old. Maybe the extra effort killed it. Is an old system and I have no idea how it even worked to start with. Nonetheless stuff brakes all the time and maybe “the happening/the braking”, is just coincidence.
I know that you’d need at least 8192 ( 8 gigs ), with 1024 ( 1 gig ) I have no idea how it even installed. Also Plex is very demanding and it will use a lot of memory for its own needs.
I have no idea on how to help you. Starting with the fact that am new at all this.
I wish to help you but the conditions are very bad for current software.
Increasing the RAM is likely to solve your problems. Wish you had disclosed this data a few days ago when asked. The NAS doesn’t need a fast cpu or RAM to work, but it does need enogh RAM.
