Virtual Box for FreeNas with 3 TB Drives
Posted: 4. Oct 2012, 20:18
Hey,
So my setup is I have a Windows 7 media pc which I want to run FreeNas on (through Virtual Box).
I have 5 * 3TB drives which need to be available to FreeNas. I was initially doing this through VMWare workstation but it doesn't support disks > than 2TB.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this? I can't figure out how to add the drive to the VM. I tried using the command:
But the problem with that was I could only figure out how to get that to work for the C: drive. I don't want the vmdk on the other drives.
Thanks for any and all help!
