Hello All,
Yesterday I performed an upgrade one one of our FreeNAS Boxes from 9.2 to 9.10.
This box has drive encryption on it, and when I went to unlock it I was unable to with the passphrase. I was able to get this unlocked after using the recovery key. After a lot of searching around, I realized that my encryption keys under /data/geli were missing (the directory is blank) as I was unable to download the key without getting a web error. Below is the code I receive when trying to do so.
So here is my question. Obviously the data on this box is important (about 96TB). I thought that the next step would just to re-key the encryption. However, I did not want to risk losing the data without atleast asking here first if that is the right move. I do in fact still have the boot option on my boot drive to go back to 9.2. Can any advise what the appropriate next step is?
