Overview
Pools
FreeNAS provides storage via Pools. A pool is a bunch of raw drives gathered and managed as a set. My pools are one of these:
| Pool type | Description |
|---|---|
| single drive | no FreeNAS advantage other than health checks |
| raid1 pair | mirrored drives give normal write speeds, fast reads, single-fail redundancy, costs half of storage potential |
| raid0 pair | striped drives gives fast writes, normal reads, no redundancy, no storage cost |
| raid of multiple drives | raidz: optimization of read/write speed, redundancy, storage potential |
The three levels of raidz are:
- raidz: one drive is consumed just for parity (no data storage, ie you only get (n-1) storage total), and one drive can be lost without losing any data; fastest
- raidz2: two drives for parity, two can be lost
- raidz3: three drives for parity, three can be lost; slowest
Datasets
Every pool should have one dataset. This is where we set the permissions, important for SAMBA access.
Dataset settings:
name #pool#-ds share type SMB user m group m ACL who everyone@ type Allow Perm type Basic Perm Full control Flags type Basic Flags Inherit
Share each dataset as a Samba share under:
Sharing > Windows Shares (SMB)
Use the pool name for the share name.
Use the same ACL as for the dataset.
Set up user
I set up m user (1000) and m group (1000)
Configuration
WARNING I had to set these Auxillary parameters in the SMB config so that symlinks would be followed.
- Services > SMB > Actions > configuration > Auxillary Parameters:
unix extensions = no follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes
- Stop and restart SMB service
Seems good for now! I can access them from elsewhere with this /etc/fstab goo:
# MDM FreeNAS has arrived //hive/sassy /spiceflow/sassy cifs credentials=/root/samba_credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0774,dir_mode=0775,auto 0 0 //hive/mack /spiceflow/mack cifs credentials=/root/samba_credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0774,dir_mode=0775,auto 0 0 //hive/sans /spiceflow/sans cifs credentials=/root/samba_credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0774,dir_mode=0775,auto 0 0 //hive/splat /spiceflow/splat cifs credentials=/root/samba_credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0774,dir_mode=0775,auto 0 0 //hive/reservoir /spiceflow/reservoir cifs credentials=/root/samba_credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0774,dir_mode=0775,auto 0 0
Set up alert emails
Go to one of your google accounts to get an App password. It has to be an account that has 2fa turned on, bleh, so don't use moodboom@gmail.com. I went with abettersoftwaretrader@gmail.com.

Troubleshooting
SOME of my shares were throwing Permission Denied errors on mv. Solutions:
- I applied permissions again, recursively, then restarted the SMB service on hive and the problem went away.
- You can also always go to the melange hive console, request a shell, and things always seem to work from there (but you're in FreeBSD world and don't have any beauty scripts like mh-move-torrent!)
