Freenas boot problems

[crisman]

Hi,

I'm new at Freenas and I've already installed 3 systems with this great product, but recently I had to re-install freenas but after the first boot some error occurred and freenas won't boot.
The error messages is:

GEOM: ada0: the primary GPT partiton table is corrupt or invalid.
GEOM: ada0: using the secondary instead -- recovery strongly advised.
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a
ROOT MOUNT ERROR:
If you have invalid mount points, reboot, and first try the following from the loader prompt:

set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw

and then remove invalid mount options from etc/fstab.

Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a
vfs.root.mountfrom.options.ro

Manual root filesystem specification:

........


mountroot>


I really don't know how to proceed to solve this problem but have already take the disk to another system, deleted all partitions, re-installed several times but error is always happening.

Could someone give me an hint to solve this.

Regards,
Cristiano.

Go here and click on "CD IMAGE". Burn that to a disc and test out your drive. If the drive formatted in another machine without error then it SHOULD be fine but never hurts to give it a solid test. What OS did you use to format the drive? I use GParted when I need to format a disk. You could try it out here. Just download the "GParted Live CD/USB/HD/PXE Bootable Image " stable release and give it a go. Best of luck to you!

Thank's Snickasaurus,

I had already solved the problem with a Partittion Tool (TerabyteUnlimited BootIt Bare Metal), I've wiped the all drive reinstalled Freenas and now is working fine.
