I have been running freenas for almost 3 years now and it is been fantastic (my build info is here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/my-build.40342/)
However, I have recently noticed some issues that I have some questions about.
1) A few months ago I started noticing the red light on when I logged into the web interface. Clicking on it gave me this message:
When I looked into the volume I saw no evidence that my pool was in a degraded mode so I didn't panic, but I was a little concerned. ( I'm running a z2 pool so I can withstand a single drive failure. Also, I do have a replacement drive here so I could swap out that one at any time.)
2) More recently, I noticed a yellow light as well telling my my boot volume (2 16G USB flash drives in a mirrored pool) was over 80% full. Today I noticed that it had snapshots (or whatever they are called) of every update I did in the last couple years, so I deleted a bunch of the 9.x ones and got it down to 33%, so that one is remedied.
3) The most alarming issue started today - my NAS has rebooted itself about 5 times today. I am guessing 5 because i see info.0 through info.4 in /data/crash, though the most recent is .2 to maybe it overwrites them after 5 and has rebooted more than that. The info.2 contains this:
I'm not sure how to further debug this but it looks like I may be troubleshooting hardware in the near future. Any advice on how to proceed from here?
Thanks.
