Hey, Ive been trying to use FreeNAS for a while now, the issue that I keep having is that some error will occur and I will have no idea how to solve it. Ill find myself googling but to no avail. Then ill just end up reinstalling FreeNas/reconfiguring after the issue seems to cause some fatal issue at least from the WebGui.
TLDR:How do I find out what goes wrong with my FreeNAS box. Thanks for your guys quick responses.
Errors: Plex not starting, smartd_damon is not running
Bunch of us here use freenas. Worse that can happen is we can’t help and your in the same spot.
I assume you are looking at the errors that show up when you click on the red blinking light.
Yea the errors are that when I try to start Plex media server I get some error occured and I was trying to find out what error occured. And I also get an error that smartd_daemon is not running.
This has persisted across multiple fresh installs?
Have you tried downloading the ISO again and reloading the USB drive?
I assume you are using freenas stable and fully up to date?
I have reinstalled it multiple times and used multiple isos, It is not fully up to date because everytime I have updated FreeNas it breaks a plethera of things, however if you think that i would work im willing to try it. The iso was from the 11.2-RC1, so i could install plex media server on it.
I found a solution
1 I believe smartd_daemon was not running due to only a flash drive being plugged in for Testing purpose
2 Since I was using a Flash Drive I tried swapping the flash drives out and installing the newest stable version and that stopped other errors from popping up
