I am having trouble with our NAS, A couple days ago everything seemed to be running fine until I discovered our FreeNAS box was still powered on but not accessible by any web interface or ssh, or anything. I restarted the box, everything seemed fine, checked the SMART status on all disks, all showed OK, except for one disk. I was going to attempt swapping the disk with a spare (RAID 10 with 4 drives), but before I could do anything, the system booted me off the SSH session and was inaccessible.
I attempted to restart the system, but since it was completely unresponsive, I was forced to use the reset button. After which, the system would not even boot. I plugged the system into a monitor, and keyboard, and was presented with an error BAD DVA.
I read a few forum posts, many said to try to import the pool using the latest version of TrueNAS, and rule out any hardware issues. I had a gut instinct that my nvme ssd may have gone bad, so I replaced it with a Seagate 2TB Barracuda, and installed TrueNAS...
I attempted to import my pool, it was detected properly, and TrueNAS attempted to import the Pool... however, once again, the system locked up, and is currently inaccessible, despite being powered on, and a bit of activity is visible on my 4 8TB disks...
I am out of ideas guys... I don't know much about TrueNAS, and really think I should have setup a NAS with hardware/software that I understand better. I was sold on the idea that FreeNAS + ZFS was the way to go, but I am totally lost on what to do next.
