I have been running a FreeNas 0.7 NAS for a while now and had an issue with a UFS software RAID 5 drive yesterday. I reset the server and it came good and was rebuilding. I also tried fixing a RAID 1 array of USB sticks i also have, and accidentally managed to format the USB drive with the operating system.
I took a backup of the configuration file before i did a reboot, is it possible to install FreeNAS 8 and use the config file from the 0.7 backup and gain access to my files again?
Or will i have to try and dig up an old FreeNAS 0.7.2 (i think) disc and reinstall then replace the config file? Then i'll be able to backup all the files onto other storage drives i have so i can upgrade to FreeNAS 8.
