Hey guys, brand new here, this is my first post. I am very much a newb with this FreeNAS and honestly not much of an IT guy to begin with. I know about enough to get myself in trouble, which I've done! Here's the situation:
About a year ago I built a FreeNAS out of an old Windows server box at work, had everything up and running and things going smooth. Last week the boot USB failed and would no longer boot. I made no copies of the config file
I've read numerous threads now, including this one, trying to get back up and running. I've reinstalled a fresh FreeNAS-11.2-RC1 on now two mirrored USB drives but am trying to access the config file from the old USB to save obviously a ton of work!
I have tried the zpool import several times from both the GUI and from the shell on the console. This is what I am getting:
(da2:umass-sim2:2:0:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 00 00 31 79 e2 00 00 00
(da2:umass-sim2:2:0:0): CAM status: CCB request completed with an error
(da2:umass-sim2:2:0:0): Retrying command
It repeats this until it rears Error 5, Retries exhausted
So my question is, am I hooped as far as accessing the config file from the old boot? Am I setting this up as a new machine? Also, how do I import the old drives without loosing my data?!
