11.1U4 took a dump

[LIGISTX]

Well, I have to assume something I did at some point when wrong, because I have been having issues trying to run a script in a jail that I know used to work on 11.0 and 9.x with some weird issues I have yet to identify, but now my webui keeps hanging with timeouts showing up all over the webui screens when I make changes, I am seeing samba errors

Code:

samba4.Samba4Alert object at *looks like that is all that copied*

, ssh hangs and is generally very slow. Something went terribly wrong from what I can tell. I just tried to shut it down via the webUI in an attempt to make sure data is not damaged at this point, looks like it didn't shut down as I got another error screen:

Something is terribly wrong and I am not even close to knowledgeable enough to be able to figure it out.

My plan is to reinstall FreeNAS 11.1 from scratch. Format the boot SSD and just wipe it. Theoretically even if it all goes to total hell, I have the data backed up. I should be able to reformat the boot drive and mount my current ZFS file system correct?

Is there anything else I should try before I do this? I am much more concerned about data loss than FreeNAS config files. Theoretical, I have a couple of those backed up as well, but its not a big deal to start from scratch so I am not worried about that either.

I am totally lost as to what has gone wrong as I really am not dinking with to many things in here. But clearly something went sideways...

I am reading the documentation @ http://doc.freenas.org/11/install.html#upgrading but any personal advice would be wonderful before I actually pull the trigger. I likely will use a new boot environment in order to at least preserve the current install in case there is a need to go backwards.

I suppose one question I want to verify first, all of the issues I could have caused should be within the boot environment itself, correct? Its entirely possible something in the /root files was messed up, clearly I am not sure what has happened. But if that is the case, none of that would be imported upon pool import to the new boot environment correct?

Correct, the config is separate from the data disks and from the OS itself (that is, they are 3 separate things).

I got it all redone, still have no idea what caused it, nor what actually happened. But it was strange, FreeNAS wouldn’t let me install it in a new boot environment as an upgrade, and wouldn’t even let me instal it as a fresh format! I had to pull the drive and throw it in my test bench to wipe it. I have no idea what that is about!

Now that I actually think about it, I wonder if the SSD has issues. Maybe I should check that ASAP, although I am not even sure how. I believe it passes all of its smart scans though.
