I have been in the process of replacing a failed hard drive. As of this morning, my Freenas box has been working just fine with no issues, aside from the failed drive. I powered off the box to test another drive that seems to be in the process of failing. I then went did as I have done many times before and now the system won't reboot, it just sits with a blinking cursor on the upper LH corner of the screen (I have a monitor connected to it while I am performing the disk diagnosis). I know it takes a bit to boot up, but I have let it sit for at least 15 minutes and it just sits there. I have tried this a number of times now, have went into the BIOS to ensure it is set to boot from the USB drive...and yes it is. Another oddity I have noted is sometimes when I restart it, the USB lights may or may not light up during that particular restart attempt. This doesn't seem right. At any rate, my previously working system no longer is and for no apparent reason since I have made zero changes to anything during this time. I had already replaced the first failed drive and the system had finished resilvering and was working fine just a few hours ago. Any ideas here?
