Hello to all-
I just recently setup an older desktop computer to be a FreeNAS until I could get my newer parts in and recover data from my Windows Home Server that just recently lost it's primary partition.
Everything had been going great until sometime today when I came back home and was presented with a "Fatal Trap 12" in kernel mode. I rebooted the machine and it wouldn't escape that trap.
I rebooted again and physically disconnected the HDD's. The system booted right back up and was up for 2 hours w/o issue. I shut down and reconnected one of the HDD and it went right back into Fatal Trap 12 again.
I disconnected that drive and reconnected the other drive. The box lit right up and everything was grand again.
Thinking I was on the right path I shut down and tried to connect the other drive again, was presented with Fatal Trap 12 again. Shutdown, and disconnected fearing I just lost that drive.
After rebooting again, the screen just started scrolling with text and the 'good' drive I previously was able to connect now was clicking and the screen was scrolling.
I was able to get the system up again, this time both drives are reading errors under S.M.A.R.T and when I tried to run a Long Scan, the whole system locked up again.
I'm looking at roughly 2 TB of data lost, some with very important info.
I read a thread about rebooting into Logger and setting the drives for a read-only mode. I'm thinking I might have one shot only at trying to recover data, if any at all, and I want to make sure I attempt the correct thing.
I have NO clue about 'nux systems. I have a strong working knowledge of computers but only just started on the 'nux and FreeNAS paths.
I know I'm a total noob to all this and I'm sure I'm going to get a bunch of 'you're screweds' but I'm hoping there is one person on here that could walk a noob through this.
Thanks,
Chris
Sorry for long thread, I'm just at wits end...
