I am setting up a F2-221 from scratch and I went to the Download section only to discover that all 5.1 TOS packages are no longer available for F2-221. Luckily I had TOS_X642.0_5.1.24_00322_2302221846 lying around, so I installed it and to my surprise TOS then updated to 5.1.67. Apparently TOS 5.1 w...

When you start TNAS without any hard drive, it will start from initboot. I hope this can help you. I know that. That's why I managed to recover from the broken installation. A few test results you may find useful: 1. With a single WD Red 2TB TOS 5.1.37 kept hanging during the installation phase (fr...

One of the disks was indeed not in great health, but the installer checked the disk before attempting to install and found both to be in good condition... Strangely I had the same issues without the faulty disk. The other one was ok. Anyway, today I removed both disks and installed a 2TB WD Red in t...

Hello, I have a F2-221. I reinitialized the USB drive following this procedure: https://forum.terra-master.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=1455 After that I ended up with Initboot version 4.x Booting with blank hard disks and using automated install got me TOS 4.2.40. I did a factory reset and on th...

Hello, 4GB should be fine. My F2-221 came with 2GB and performed adequately out of the box (maxed out the 1Gbps connection with a single large file), albeit only with just one concurrent user. In my opinion adding more memory makes sense only if you plan to spin up more services on top of it, e.g. s...

Hello, I get the message "CMOS checksum error" after resetting BIOS and this message stays on even after restoring the default settings. This message stays on for a while and usually disappears after removing the AC power for at least a couple of hours. I've tried using the Reset button, r...

Hello, The NAS itself does not contain the OS (at least the Intel-based models do not) - only a small piece of code that allows the NAS to connect to Internet, download the current TOS version and then install it on the HDDs. I think there was a warning at some point that the HDDs will be wiped. In ...

Hi, the "CMOS checksum error" is seen at boot on a connected display. The messages I pasted in Italic were copied from dmesg.

Hello, Back in 2019 I decided it was time for me to get a NAS, so I purchased an F2-221 - great form factor, low power consumption, standard x86_64 hardware, even an HDMI port... I tried TOS3 (the current version back then), but it did not meet my requirements. I decided I would not use FreeNAS on a...
