Sections 1 and 2 of this manual cover basic installation of XigmaNAS and include processes and procedures that may help you configure and use some of the services included in XigmaNAS. If you need to know how to do something , you may find it in these first 2 sections of the manual. Disks|ZFS|Snapshots|Clone Clones create another dataset or volume that is a replica of the parent snapshot. The new clone will consume no space until the dataset/volume starts to become different from the parent snapshot at which time it will only consume space equal to 4.

Here we see a Running FreeBSD 10.3 32-bits in VirtualBox on the XigmaNAS server managed with noVNC in this case: Guest Additions Use the link to download the corresponding Guest Additions CD. for version 6.1.18 you need to download from the 6.1.18. External Link Tip! It doesn’t have an option to auto start VMs yet so you can add this to the – Identify new disks and format them as ZFS pool device. Usually, there’s no need to activate any option like ‚Create ZFS on a GPT partition.‘ and/or ‚Do not erase the Master Boot Record‘ options. ZFS‘ combination of the volume manager and the file system solves this and allows the creation of file systems that all share a pool of available storage. One big advantage of ZFS‘ awareness of the physical disk layout is that existing file systems grow automatically when adding extra disks to

This list might not be complete due to ACL restrictions and hidden pages. Important – CIFS/SMB shares are created from existing, mounted file systems. Before you create a share you must mount the file system containing the files & directories you expect to share, see SUG Section 5.6-Mount Point Management.

XigmaNAS is easy to install, configure and manage. It is arguably the simplest and most full-featured NAS OS available. However, XigmaNAS is not a turnkey system, you are the OEM, it is up to you to already know or learn about the services and features provided by XigmaNAS so you can make effective use of your server.

XigmaNAS is an Open Source Storage NAS (Network-Attached Storage) distribution based on FreeBSD. The XigmaNAS operating system can be installed on virtually any hardware platform to share computer data storage over a computer network. ‘NAS’ means “Network-Attached Storage”. XigmaNAS is the simplest and fastest way to create a centralized and easily-accessible server

Software RAID If your hardware has enough ram to use ZFS, then you should be using ZFS, and not any other form of software or hardware RAID. Software and hardware RAID DO NOT provide the kind of robust data protection that ZFS redundancy and checksums provide. ZFS checksums are done at the block level and can detect and repair bitrot transparently. Software and The abilities of CIFS are actually larger than just accessing files. CIFS is used to share mounted file systems on the XigmaNAS server and make them available to other computers that understand the CIFS protocol. Windows®, Linux, and OS X® machines are all capable of accessing files on the NAS4Free server via the CIFS/SMB protocol.

Page Tools Back to documentation:howto:create_iscsi_target_from_zfs_volume Back to top Here you can add settings to your /etc/sysctl.conf. The /etc/sysctl.conf file is read in when the system goes into multi-user mode to set default settings for the kernel. If you enable “Tuning” under System | Advanced, XigmaNAS enables some of this settings to tune your XigmaNAS server. The following example add kern.logsigexit=0 to /etc/sysctl.conf The result is that This page displays the disk usage of all mounted ZFS datasets (“zfs list” command results). In the ZFS Dataset Proporties section, you can see all the variables and their values used of all of the datasets:

Disks|ZFS|Snapshots|Auto Snapshot From this screen, you can set pools, datasets, volumes, or clones to have snapshots taken daily. Each autosnapshot task can have a different retention period, unless the autosnapshot is made recursive, and then the snapshots from the common parent have the same retention length.

Currently we can have a home or small office NAS server from manufacturers such as QNAP, Synology or ASUSTOR among other manufacturers. However, you can also mount a NAS with the hardware you want, you will only have to install an operating system oriented to a NAS server, such as XigmaNAS. This operating system is one of the best we can Disks|ZFS|Snapshots|Snapshot|Add On this screen, Path is the pool, dataset, or volume to snapshot. Name is the identifier of what the snapshot is.

Here are some limitations and interactions of XigmaNAS: Local User/Password feature is covered in this document. Additional notes are available in the changelog on the XigmaNAS website. XigmaNAS is an Open Source Network-Attached Storage distribution based on FreeBSD. To be clear, XigmaNAS is ready-made in FreeBSD so its installation will be like installing an Operating System which makes it quite easy and convenient for all users.

More important, this page allows you easy to synchronize the state of your pool(s) into the WebGUI and configuration.
