I tried to add a PCIe Flash card (Kingston Hyper-X Predator) for a SLOG but the machine would boot, so I took it out and it booted fine. I realize this card doesn't have power backup; the purpose was to see how a SLOG would improve my performance before I invested in a real one.
I have had some compatibility issues with that PCIe Flash card and the video card in the past NVIDIA GT-120, so I removed the video card and and tried to boot, but it never came up on the network.
I turned it off and put things back to the way they were (removed PCIe Flash and reinserted video card).
Now, the system crashes when booting. There are various errors, and the only thing I know to do it record a video of the errors while they are playing out, since I cannot access them otherwise.
I hope my pool is OK and all that is screwed up is my boot SSD.
Any ideas on what I need to do next?
Sad day :(
