Hey guys... It seems that my SD card boot device decided it didnt want to be an SD card anymore...
Anyway, was wondering, what are the procedures to get a working system again (i had backups, but i believe they were on the SD card that took a shit... i know, not good practice)... I dont have anything super important or not otherwise backed up from this NAS, but would prefer not to have to copy all of it back over....
Is it as easy as re-creating a USB stick/SD card to boot freenas from? Or are there a bunch of extra steps after that to get it back up to where it was before it died.
(I believe it's SD card because of the errors its throwing when trying to boot... POSTs fine, begins boot to FreeNAS (if it can find the boot file... sometime it locks up looking for it)... anyway, I was having issues SSHing into the machine and accessing it by web interface.Went to the physical machine to try to reboot, it locked up after asking if i want to reboot Y/N (stalled there for about an hour til i hard reset it... and now i cant get past it trying to create the ZFS pool....
