I've had a 2 array, dual redundant (z2 raid for each array) system running for about 6 years straight.
Something happened to my boot key, I'm guessing a power failure had something to do with it, despite UPS service being configured (I didn't receive an e-mail).
When I was building it, I had a lot of forum help, and once it was all set, it required no changes or modifications, so my skill are lacking on the FreeNAS side, a bit; and my linux/BSD skills are VERY limited.
I've successfully created a new boot key with 11.3, was unable to import the settings file, due to the large migration, but have imported the arrays.
I currently have only used SMB, and had some configurations to make it my networks browser master/local DNS. My shares were root array's.
11.3 doesn't support this, I'm told, and I can adapt, but here is what is happening now, and the plan for me to get this back to 100% function for me. Please help.
How it's working so far:
The arrays imported, my machine connect to one of the shares, but I get a permissions failure when trying to browse the other. The one I can browse, some of the files, folder and data report permissions errors. No permissions have been changed in 6 years since I set it all up. I've created the same username. SSH is setup, and while looking, I can find no apparent differences in the files and folders I CAN access, with those that i CANNOT. This fact is a little confusing to me.
What I believe I need to do:
I need to move my dataset folders (/mnt/tank1 AND /mnt/tank2) to something like (mnt/tank1/tank1 AND mnt/tank2/tank2) if at all possible, and re-do the sharing, hopefully magically fixing some of this strangeness I don't understand. From there, I should be able to move on and test and step through the DNS and master browser things at my leisure.
Is it this easy, or I am in big trouble?
If it's this easy, this is live data, and I'd like a couple of comments verifying the correct using of the mv command via SSH. I'm guessing I should remove the smb shares from the freenas console, as I have no need to share the roots once they are moved. I'm moving them because I have to. I was not told, and was unaware it was bad practice to configure and share the root shares back when I was installing 9.2.1.5
This is a home system with VERY important personal and client data on it, and it's around 32TB of space with over 20TB being used currently.
I love this rig, please help me save it. If there is something that steps through explaining this behavior, and walks though the mv comand or points out what I should be doing in this case, please feel free to point me in the direction.
Thank you all very much!
