Greetings, I've had a power outage which might have bricked some devices. An Access Point for example is broken as are Mainboard / CPU / RAM. So I put older Motherboard in with i7 2600 GA-H77 Gigabyte with 16 GB of RAM non ECC. There are five spinning HDD with size of 4 TB each. In geom disk...

I had my second USB boot drive die in one of my servers, and am trying to recover my freenas config. Of course it has been too long since the last backup, but I did boot my desktop to an ubuntu live usb, and was able to dd the entire contents of the 128gb freenas boot drive to a file on my...

Good night people! I made a big mistake in freenas. I had created a storage system with two 1TB HDDs in stripe mode and everything was working perfectly. Later, on a certain day I added manually through the web / graphical interface 1 HD of 500GB and then another of 1TB. Freenas showed error...

Hello, Long time lurker, but I just had a disaster. I had a drive die without warning. It was part of a 2 disk pool. One of the drives is still functioning, but the other one is a paperweight now. 1. How do I tell if I set it up that 2 disk volume as a mirror? I shuffled data around and ended...

My boot drive (usb) stopped working. I am trying to get the configuration file. I installed freenas installer on a different usb (same version as the broken usb), booted from it and went to shell. I ran zpool import. It showed my storage pool and a freenas-boot pool. /mnt was read only so I...

Hi: Been using nas4free for a long time, i have two disks in Raid0 (or perhaps called ZFS dynamic striping). The nas4free OS was running of a usb drive and today the drive went to hell. Basically i lost my instillation. I don't have the configuration saved which i used to before and now i'm in...

hi guys i have this problem. I have snapshots replicated on another freenas server. I need to recover files inside this snapshot. I do exactly as described in freenas note: """ Clone the desired snapshot. Share the clone with the share type or service running on the FreeNAS® system. After users...

Long time, first time... <TLDR>: (resolved?) I had an unavailable disk after upgrading and then reverting an HBA ada1 aka gptid/2725ca3e-3817-11e7-8768-00400510e336. I "replaced" it via the GUI, traceback occurred, but drive rejoined the vdev raidz2-1 without being resilvered. It feels like...

Hello, I used the following command to mount a folder within another folder: mount_nullfs -o r,nosymfollow /mnt/FreeNAS/Media/ /mnt/FreeNAS/Exchange/sftp/dejhost/sftpdir/media/ Without thinking about the consequences, I deleted the folder /mnt/FreeNAS/Exchange/sftp/dejhost using the command rm...

Hi everyone, how is the correct procedure to unlock an encrypted pool after a clean install of FreeNAS on a new boot device? I had the problem that I was only able to unlock my pool with the help of a geli_recovery.key. I had to use this file/key every time I wanted to unlock the pool. What I...

Afternoon all, Late last week my freenas-boot USB running Corral died. I am trying to recover the Docker data that I had on that install to save starting again. Really - the only Docker I care about is the Plex database. If I can access that I can import into a FN 11 Plugin to recover Plex...

I just had a disk drop off my main RAIDZ2 pool and I need some guidance to troubleshoot/recover. I am running FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-x64 (r13452), and am getting ready to upgrade. Disk Configuration: /dev/ada0,1,2,3 - TANK - RAIDZ2 /dev/ada4,5 - SCRATCH - RAIDZ /dev/ada6 - attached to a hot...

Tengo la versión 9.2.1 instalada en una usb. Funcionó muy bien por casi un año y de un dia para otro comenzó a ciclarse a la hora de arrancar. Cuando termine de arrancar y muestra las 14 opciones posibles para teclear aparece el siguiente mensaje: freenas init: getty repeating too quickly on...

We recently had our second of two 2014-era FreeNAS Minis experience a motherboard failure. Luckily I had a spare on hand (I bought a new one when my first original one failed, and had the original failed one repaired by iXsystems) so we moved that one into service while our failed unit is being...

Hi, A computer on my network was infected with ransomware which encrypted all the files on my FreeNAS. After cleaning all computers on the network, I cloned the last known good snapshots of all volumes and started running off these cloned drives in production. How can I make this permanent...

Was removing old SAN connections off a host and added new dynamic identifier at the same time. Then I went and was deleting expired storage containers and vsphere did an auto refresh and deleted the disconnected storage containers while it added the new ones from the FreeNAS SAN, I inadvertently...

Hi guys, I do have a THECUS N5500 NAS, however, the hardware died recently, it does not start anymore. Would it be possible to assemble the 5 RAID disks to another hardware and recover the existing RAID5 array? Any idea welcome. Regards

Hi everyone, I've just assembled my first NAS server. The hardware specifications are as follows: HP Proliant ML10 V2 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz (@ 1333MHz) ECC Intel Pentium G3240 Seagate ST1000DM003 Toshiba DT01ACA300 (Quantity: 2) SanDisk SDCZ43-016G (Quantity: 2) Thus far, I've...

Hi, I have been called back to sort out a FreeNAS Mini system I set up, the O/S seems to be absent or trashed I have only had a little look-see. My guess is that I will have to completely re-install FreeNAS, I now know the "config" should have been backed up but I should be able to import the...

So my FreeNAS box became unresponsive. No GUI, No Console, No SSH. Hard rebooted. In normal boot mode it gets to importing zpool then hangs. In single user mode we can import the pool in readonly mode and all is good but a it comes up saying it cant mount a particular dataset (which I dont...

TL;DR: FreeNAS is only transferring at a few kbps making replacing disks almost impossible. Hi All, I got freenas running on a dedicated PC (4 core avoton, 32gb ram) and after struggling with a bunch of disks that prevented the OS from booting (no idea why, i just removed them) i got it to...
