[chat] need assistance

[beth langley]

I am calling on assistance if someone could help me to complete a build and convert it to a NAS.

I have a box built with i3 intel chip set 32gb memory, highport rocketraid card 640 with 4 X 4Tb drives. Debian linux latest version

 

I have loaded Debian and now trying to load the raid card drivers and then setup freenas.

 

I would welcome any help to finish this build as I am a Linux virgin. I am prepared to pay for someone’s time as long as it’s reasonable.

Can anyone help?

 

I am in the Glenwood area of Sydney my  mobile number is 0413155531 if someone could help please.

Hi Beth,

FreeNAS is operating system so you would not need to install Debian to run it. Its based on BSD. You can just download the appropriate FreeNAS CD or DVD image and then put it in your machines and follow the prompts.

You would not be running Linux (or Debian Linux) but an operating system called BSD. FreeNAS has a great control panel that you can use from your web browser.

Unless I am mistaken (and feel free to correct me) maybe just by downloading a different image and starting again you can get to the same end point without assistance ( or paying some one).

Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions.

Cheers
