    Another "Boot Pool Status [...] unrecoverable error" question

    My Freenas does not boot any more from SanDisk Ultra Fit 64GB stick

    Hi, I have built a Freenas server three years ago; total capacity of 12GB, serves as a windows and apple file server, has been running very, very smoothly ever since. I have been very very happy with the entire system. Had upgraded the Freenas version several times in between and had never had...

    USB Boot Degraded, won't allow removal

    Hello and thank you in advance! I got a warning that my boot pool (single USB) has degraded already (first FreeNAS install was August 2018, so much for longevity on this Kingston DataTraveler 16Gb 3.0). I have added another Kingston and told it to mirror. It did. Then I tried to remove the...

    USB Drive can't be accessed after using as FreeNAS boot drive

    Does anyone have the same issue? My FreeNAS has been setup as Mirror boot with 2 of 32G USB2 drive. One of my co-worker somehow decided to unplug the primary boot USB drive while it was still in use. The mirrored USB drive kicked in as it supposed to be. That's all fine. The issue is that the...

    SOLVED Cannot boot from install USB

    So I have FreeNAS 9.3 running on a USB drive, and I'm trying to do a new and fresh install of v11, but I cannot get it to boot the installer. If I choose UEFI boot I get the grub rescue screen, and if I boot using legacy I get the "Reboot and select proper boot device" prompt. The checksum for...

    Boot Loader on Mirrored Boot Device

    I was setting up a mirrored boot device (per http://doc.freenas.org/11/system.html#mirroring-the-boot-device) after I had a single USB device die and fail to boot. The previous and new device was setup to boot in Legacy (Non-EFI) mode. I added a second (to be mirrored) device, and set it to...

    Moved system from one room to another, now getting checksum error

    Just going to preface this with I know I'm an idiot for not backing up the config, so no need to roast me on that. I'm still an amateur with more advanced computing, such as server and NAS environments, so bare with me. I moved my desk from one location to another, and with that I also moved my...

    Loading kernels i3 6100

I have a i3 6100 as you read above and my motherboard is the ASRock - H270M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard I don't see why it won't work with FreeNAS.

    Another FreeNAS crash - similar to rds13, but different

    Hi Forum As this is my maiden post, please excuse my Noobiness and other poor attributes. From the previous post of rds13 and the likely solution, as well as a similar post of 4 years ago, I believe I may have a faulty USB stick boot-drive. However this is further complicated by a sad tale of...
