Hi
I am not a noob nor am I very comfortable with Linux. First things first, I had FreeNAS 8.3 set up, working like a charm (3 JBOD, Transmission, mini DLNA, firefly etc. setup). Then I wanted to do the upgrade to FreeNAS 9.1 for setting up Plex server. So downloaded the Upgrade .txz and from the GUI method was able to Upgrade successfully. So now I am at FreeNAS 9.1 and all the disks mounted and all looks good.
Then the things went from bad to worse.
I wanted to install Transmission, but kept getting 'Configure Network interface and default gateway' message when tried to do so, tried the migrate plugins as well from 8.3 to 9.1 but that never made it to work. Frustrated at that I tried what I suggest no one do. On the console '8) Reset to factory defaults' was done. Reboots. After this I am unable to mount my disks.
After the above reboot, I added username, password, created groups and users. Then I was trying to do this: Storage>Active Volumes>Auto Import volume It asks me if it is a Encrypted ZFS Volume (in my case I had used JBOD as UFS) so I chose 'No:Skip to Import'. In the next window I don't get any volumes that I can select in the volume option and just a 'Ok' or 'Cancel'.
I want to retrieve the data I had, any alternate methods? Please help!!!
I was thinking of going back to the old FreeNAS 8.3 or can I retrieve data by connecting disk via USB and restarting the whole config. Please help, I had like 4TB of media and valuable data on there.
