FreeNAS is an operating system that can be installed on virtually any hardware platform to share data over a network. FreeNAS is the simplest way to create a centralized and easily accessible place for your data. Use FreeNAS with ZFS to protect, store, and back up all of your data. FreeNAS is used everywhere, for the home, small business,.
- Aug 28, 2008 FreeNAS will work just fine with your Mac. FreeNAS offers Samba (CIFS/Windows) networking which FreeNAS understand and will appear in the SHARED section of the Finder (if you are using Leopard). It also supports AFP and also automatically appears in the SHARED section of finder.
- I've got FreeNAS 9.3 server (HP Microserver N54L) and connecting to it via NFS from my multiple OS X systems (running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1). I've always had low performance over the network (1Gig ethernet) and have roughly 40 megabytes per second transfer rate, while locally on file server, write speed is about 140-150Mb/s.
- FreeNAS is the first and only open source storage OS to offer encryption on ZFS volumes. Encrypted volumes can only be read by a FreeNAS system with the master key, which you can change at any time. An optional password can be added to protect the entire system from unauthorized access.
The FreeNas which all we know is the open-source NAS operating based on FreeBSD. It helps millions of people to turn their old PC system into a personal NAS box without spending money. So, if you want to try it before installing it to your main system or server you can test it on Virtual Machine: Install FreeNAS on VirtualMachine.
However, in this article, we let you know how to create a FreeNAS bootable USB drive and then use that to install FreeNAS on any other Pen or USB drive.
1: Download the Universal USB Installer Tool
First of all download the Universal USB Installer Tool. We use it to write the FreeNAS.iso image to our Pendrive to make a bootable FreeNAS USB drive. The download link ishere.
2: Get FreeNAS.ISO image
Second thing, we require is the FreeNAS.ISO image. If you already have this then move to the next step otherwise here is the link to download.
3: Run the portable USB maker Universal USB
After downloading run the Universal USB Installer tool, it is a portable USB maker. Just Double click on the Universal USB Installer tool .exe file.
4: Install Freenas on USB
Click on the Dropdown box and select Try Unlisted Linux ISO (GRUB). Select the downloaded FreeNAS.ISO file by clicking Browse button. After that select the USB drive from the right side drop-down box. Then Choose Fat32 Format.
Now click on the Create button. It will take a few minutes to the tool to create a bootable FreeNAS USB drive.
5: Boot with FreeNAS bootable USB drive
Once it has done! Let the FreeNAS bootable USB drive as it is and attach one more blank pen drive where we will install the FreeNAS OS.
Note: You can’t install FreeNAS on the same bootable USB drive. You should have one spare which we will use to install the FreeNAS bootable and other system files.
- Now I assumed that you have attached both USB drives (the one you FreeNAS bootable we made above and other one blank at least 8GB) to your computer system.
- Restart the PC and boot it using the FreeNAS bootable thumb drive which created above.
- As soon as the PC booted up with the FreeNAS, you will get a black window with the option to boot the FreeNAS.
- Press Enter.
- The FreeNAS installer set up will boot up. ( For the installation steps you can refer to this link)
When the installer asks you to choose the hard drive to install the FreeNAS at that time select your USB drive. Like we did in the following screenshot.
From there follow the guided steps of installation.
Once the installation is done. Remove the FreeNAS bootable drive but not the drive in which you installed it.
Whenever you want to use the FreeNAS simply boot your computer with the drive in which you have installed the FreeNAS. Even you can use it as a portable drive to run the FreeNAS on any other system of your home or friend.
Other useful Resource
Please note that while this article specifically defines the steps necessary to connecting to an ECN drive, it can be used to connect to other SMB and CIFS servers from a Mac as well. Follow the same steps, remembering though to swap out the domain of 'ECN' in the authentication prompt seen below for the domain related to your other server.
Or if you wish to connect to ITaP home directory servers, information from ITaP's KnowledgeBase pages may be helpful. Check out the link below for more details:
NOTE: If connecting from off campus to an ECN shared drive, you will need a VPN connection.
Navigate to the link below to obtain/update the required software, if it isn't already installed on your system:
Mac Os X Versions
This FAQ will demonstrate how to use OS X to connect to SMB and CIFS shared volumes on the ECN network. These instructions can be applied to OS X 10.13.x (as well as other OS X versions reaching back to OS X 10.3.x). Once mapped, the volume should appear on your Desktop. If not, check out the following set of instructions on how to (re)add it there:
NOTE: The following screenshots were taken with Mac OS X 10.11.x (El Capitan), although the instructions and images are applicable to older versions (again reaching back to OS X 10.3.x).
In the Finder, navigate to your Go menu and select Connect to Server...
In the new dialog box, enter the path to the intended server. Typically, the
cifs
protocol is related to Windows shares where as smb
is associated with UNIX. That being said, the smb protocol will work with both OS types. In this example, I will use the server
pier
and the share name joesmith
. The server address in this case would then besmb://pier.ecn.purdue.edu/joesmith
All other shares will follow the same format as seen below. If you have questions about whether to use cifs or smb, contact ECN.
smb://servername.ecn.purdue.edu/
sharename
Freenas Mac Os X
cifs://servername.ecn.purdue.edu/
sharename
NOTE:IP addresses are also suitable in place of DNS names. Please remember to always use fully qualified domain names as well (//pier.ecn.purdue.edu/sharename as opposed to //pier/sharename).
Click the Connect button. OS X will contact the server and then display a system authentication dialog. Your input will vary depending on whether your local machine account name matches your ECN Career Account alias exactly. If it does, you can simply type the following information to sign in.
- Name: username
- Password: (your ECN password)
If not, you will need to alter the Name field to look like the following:
- Name: ECNusername
- Password: (your ECN password)
You may also wish to check 'Remember this password in my keychain,' if you plan to connect frequently or automatically when you log into your machine. Otherwise, you will be asked to enter your password every time.
Click Connect, and the shared drive will mount on your computer. You can find it either on the Desktop with an icon of a three people encased in a clear cube or in your Finder as noted earlier.
If the drive does not automatically appear on the Desktop, check out the following link for instructions on how to display it there:
Additionally, it is possible to have the drive automatically mount every time you log in. To do so, first find the drive icon on the Desktop or via Finder. Next, open up System Preferences... from the Apple menu.
Select the Users & Groups icon. Then, click on your user name, and jump to the Login Items tab.

Drag the icon of your shared drive into the list of items, and it will be added and connect automatically when you log in.
One last note! Once you've mapped the drive you need, you should consider creating a shortcut under your 'Favorites' section of Finder (drag and drop the selected folder under 'Favorites.'
Not only will this make your directories easier to access, but it will also help to avoid navigation issues related to permissions within subfolders of your share drives when using File-->Open functionality in various applications.

Please note though that every time you disconnect from a share or lose a network connection to it, you will need to re-add the desired folder(s) to your 'Favorites.'
