As I make my way through different NAS softwares I'm now on Nextenta. OpenFiler went OK but slow on writes, still working on that. FreeNas 8 NFS seems hopelessly broke from what I read. I tried Nexenta. First I loaded it onto a VM on ESXI just to check it out. It was painfully slow to install.

Mar 29, 2012 Openindiana install to USB flash drive fails. Discussion in 'Solaris, Nexenta, OpenIndiana, and napp-it' started by soundscribe. Filme Seriale Italiene Online Gratis Subtitrate. 4cd Battle Dune Emperor Isolation there. Driver Grabster Av 400 Windows 7. Solaris, Nexenta.

I even stopped the installer and gave it a ton of resources. Still took over 30 minutes to install and thats once it got to the install screen itself.

So tonight I tried it on my test box. C2Q 2.5Ghz, 12GB Ram, true Intel MB, 4x 500GB 7200rpm drives using the onboard controller. Installing it onto a flash drive. It is sitting here at 0 percent but the CD is being read and the flash drive is flash but its not getting anywhere. It's pretty vanilla hardware and basing it on the VM Which should be much faster I'm just wondering if I need to wait it out or look at a problem.

I'm also wondering if this can even be used, there is concern that the community edition is only for lab testing and not for production use. Scott Alan Miller wrote: Agreed, can't figure out what could be happening to make it move so slowly.

Well I had high hopes but maybe its just a bad CD I made. I'll have to make another. I had a spare R710 sitting here that is being installed at a customer in 10 days so I figured I'd try that. Much bigger hardware, dual 6 core 2.67Ghz Xeon's, 64GB Ram, 6x300GB SAS.it flew through the installer but then when it came time to install it on the flash drive here we are at 0 percent. So I know its not the hardware. Either the disk or the flash drives I'm using but I've tried 3, all different brands.

First install attempt was on an internal compact flash card. It took about eight hours. I then ran into some service timeout issues upon reboot. I figured the install was faulty since it took soooooo long. Next install attempt I tried installing to an 8GB usb key. That was even slower.

It took about 12 hours and I hit those same service timeout issues. Finally I installed to a 30GB SSD and that took less than 30 min. Not really sure how long since I left the room to make/eat a PB&J and when I came back it was done. (and didn't see those service timeout errors!).
