Well, when I ran into the permission problem, I was going to start over anyway. Figured if I was going to start over, may as well switch to TrueNAS while at it. So, I switched. I only used FreeNAS because it was the first one I found. It was put on the USB stick ages ago. I'm keeping a eye out for a small hard drive, 250GB or something to use as the OS drive in the NAS. I've read it wears out USB sticks pretty fast. At first, I couldn't get both drives to add at the same time. To work around that, I set up a pool with one drive. I then went back and added the second drive. Then it was both drives added together, like I do in LVM. Then I did the file system thing, dataset I think they call it??? After a while, I shutdown the NAS. I got on Ebay and ordered a 1GB network card. Everything I have is 1GB so no need getting anything faster. It should be a lot faster and may be about all the NAS rig can handle anyway. I haven't figured out how to encrypt it yet tho. I need to research that. Still, progress. Dale :-) :-)
