Last night, had a brief power outage. PC and Freenas are on UPS.
Logged into freenas and did a clean shutdown via the web GUI. Powered off PC and went back to bed. Booted Freenas and PC this morning. No Freenas.
HP Proliant MicroServer, 8 GB RAM, NO OPTICAL DRIVE(can make it happen if needed), 5 Samsung Eco 2 TB drives, RAIDZ2, ZFS.
When I attach a monitor to the HP MS, boot, it POSTS and shows all 5 drives attached, and it says there is a USB mass storage device attached. After the BIOS loads, I get a blinking white cursor on a black screen. That's it. It will stay that way. Also, the USB stick is a 4 GB USB 2.0 drive that has an access light. Access light does not come on, and I fear it's dead. I plugged it into my windows machine and it shows it in Disk Management, but it says no media. I'm not sure if that's due to the format, or the drive being bad.
I'm not 100% sure exactly which version of Freenas I'm running, but I'm positive it's 8. It's probably the first or second revision. If I dug through my downloads I could find the installer that I downloaded and update this post.
Before anyone rants, I do NOT have my data backed up(though I feel my RAID is healthy). I should know better and practice what I preach, but I'm also a bit lazy when it comes to my own stuff.... I'd prefer to restore my Freenas, but would be satisfied to recover my data.
Also, background: I'm an IT guy by trade. Windows guy though, and I'm a Freenas / Freebsd n00b. However, I can follow directions. I would be stoked if the forum can help me out here please.
Thank you.
