Continued trouble with Free NAS

My Free NAS server decided to reboot and guess what?  The annoying truncated device name issue appeared again.  I’m rebuilding the RAID 5 for the 3rd time now.  Once it’s back I will copy all of this data over to the new  Drobo.  Then I will upgrade the Free NAS software and see if things appear any better.   At this point once the RAID 5 is rebuilt and even if I correctly restart the server I get the same “truncated device name” issues.

Then I have to pull drive 0 (or 1 if you’re not an array based programmer) of the RAID 5 and format it with a MS DOS partition so that the NAS server will pick up the drive again.  Then I insert it from the RAID Management interface of the Free NAS software.  Then it rebuilds fine and I can re-mount the mount points.  Don’t reboot because it will go bonkers again!!

More to come…
