Comment on 8.0.1 RC2 Released – 64 Bit Only at the Moment by Josh Paetzel

Well, it’s not really released. It’s a candidate for RC2 that we are circulating for wider testing. Hence no 32 bit version. It also has a bunch of debugging goo in it.

This is my freenas structure but I still can’t do passwordless login:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Jul 29 09:54 /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Jul 29 09:55 /mnt/mount
drwx—— 4 admin admin 512 Jul 29 10:15 /mnt/mount/Data
drwx—— 2 admin admin 512 Jul 29 10:10 /mnt/mount/Data/.ssh
-rw——- 1 admin admin 399 Jul 29 10:10 /mnt/mount/Data/.ssh/authorized_keys

I just get permission denied (publickey). But this is what I see in the log (Diagnostics|Log):
SSH: Server;Ltype: Version;Remote: 192.168.2.11-xxxxx;Protocol: 2.0;Client: OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3

xxxxx = random port number

Comment on FreeNAS 8.0 Release Candidate 5 – Last One Before Final Version? by Tom Wyrick

Richard, I’m glad you posted this! I had the exact SAME experience a couple weeks ago while trying out the release version of FreeNAS 8. (So I guess they didn’t fix this between RC5 and the final?)

I specifically built this FreeNAS box to do network Time Machine backups from the Macs in our house (we own a total of 5!) — but the server I re-purposed for FreeNAS was an older Pentium 4 Xeon 2.66Ghz from 2003-2004. It doesn’t support 64-bit mode. I had 4GB of RAM in it and I experienced the kmem panic not too long after I kicked off an initial Time Machine backup from my system with close to 1TB of data to be backed up.

At this point, I scrapped it because if I can’t trust it to make reliable backups or restores in this way, it’s useless to me. I’m about to pull out the motherboard in the server and fork over the cash to put a newer AMD board in with a Phenom II processor that is 64-bit capable. It won’t technically be a “server class” motherboard anymore, but if it works, it works!
