Learn FreeNAS

I like the Raid video.

Question: I have a Freenas box with 2 80 GB SATA drives.

I am thinking this would be a good box for student home directories (staff and teachers would be on a diff machine) … we run server 2003 AD here on campus.

Can I use the student’s AD logon crededntials to secure their home directory ? I am not sure how to set file/folder security in FreeNas.

Thanks,

Great videos! Useful, right to the point – excellent! Keep up the good work.

Can you use the logical volume manager with freenas?

all,

having issues implementing ssl/tls with 0.7 of freenas for ftp.

I am needing to create a certificate on the freenas box itself.
Any suggestions?

@Bill Clark

Will you be using the AD feature in freeNAS? I assume you would not and will be continuing to use 2003 AD, so….

Assuming you have freeNAS up and running after using disc management with samba enabled and all disc formatted and mounted…do the following:

create your share folders within samba(CIFS)then in SMB settings check both large read/write AND EA support. Checking these will allow you to set permissions withing the windows enviroment either in AD or on the local machines. hopes this helps

muy buen material, i need learn how configure disk iscsi plese helpme?

I configured a freenas server to use as a storage location for DVD, music, pics and backups. I’m running LinuxMCE and when I play dvd’s that are stored on the freenas box, I get a lot of jerking, lost sound and choppy vido. Happens with all vid’s I play. Is there something special I should do for video play from this server ?

main problem I have is configuring network and accesig shares from windows environment. Freenas does not seems to recognized windows domains pretty easily. Need help.
