Cant access my server

[bigverm23]

I cannot access my server via the ip or the domain name - however I can access any of the jails within without issue. Cannot access my share either.

screenshot below of what the server is showing at the console. this is setup as a mirror usb boot.

What is da4?

Usually this kind of thing indicate a failed boot drive.

Yep...so da4 is the 2nd of a mirrored usb boot

Shows as healthy though....do I physically pull it or?

I agree, da4 is problematic. Healthy doesn't mean anything when you have access issues. You might be best to just run a single USB boot device. Try to backup your config file, unless you already have one then I'd remove the failed USB drive and reinstall FreeNAS and restore the config file. I personnaly don't care for mirrored USB boot drives when it's so easy to restore a single drive provided you maintain fairly recent configuration backups.

why do I have to reinstall FreeNAS after detaching the bad usb? to be clear, this is what i did - went to Settings > Boot and detached the supposed bad usb..........will that suffice or do I need to do something else?

That sounds fine.
