Hey all,
I was one of the unlucky users that finally thought of trying out FreeNAS after Corral was stable, so after a weekend of transferring data through SMB to the new FreeNAS server, I embarked on my journey!
At first I loved the GUI for Docker, though it had its quirks, I had some experience with Docker on my previous Ubuntu Server, so having access to Docker was awesome!
Then came the announcement that Corral was sent back to technical preview, and I was kind of shocked.
I knew Corral was not stable for me, with random crashes and errors that required server restarts most of the time, so I wanted to revert to the more stable 9.10.2 or FreeNAS 11 (or technically 9.10.3).
So after reading through the migration posts, I concluded that, if I was not mistaken, I could simply go to the update menu and install the FreeNAS 11 Nightly.
So I did, and it failed...
I ended up with a lot of "Error: disk I/O error" messages, occasionally separated with an "[: : bad number]" message, only for it to end in a message telling me that "fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory"...
After a little bit being stuck on these messages, the boot process would continue, or so I thought...
It threw a lot of errors about modules not being able to start, including the webui, basically leaving me dead in the water.
So I restarted, opened the boot menu and started my old Corral 10.0.4 version to give it another shot.
This time I tried the FreeNAS 9.10.2, because, based on what I read in the migration post, this _should_ also work.
Sadly, after the automatic reboot, the same thing happened as what happened to the FreeNAS 11 Nightly...
Okay, not what I expected...
So after a few other tries, I accepted my defeat and created a liveboot USB drive for the FreeNAS 11 Nightly (as that was the one that had the best Corral support) and got to work.
Initially I tried to upgrade the existing installation, however, somehow near the end, my SSD locked up or something and the installation failed.
"Ah, no biggy!", I thought to myself, "I'll just install a clean version, if I'm not mistaken I can just import my ZFS pool and I should still have all my data!"
But I got the same error as with the upgrade installation.
At this point I gave up, rebooted my server and started Corral again.
Can anyone help me, especially with the disk error and missing fstab errors, as that route seemed to actually do something?
Thanks in advance,
Dymion.
