Hello everyone,

This is a very sad day. 100+ days since the last time I had to reboot my NAS and I was expecting it to be more ):

I have a FreeNAS VM running in my office along with some other FreeNAS VM's..etc but this one has really important files, personal and work.
This is all under Proxmox.

Basically I just rebooted the VM last night before I went to bed, this morning I log into Proxmox to check every VM's memory...etc and FreeNAS apparently was using 8mb (Talk about impossible) I couldn't believe it so I went into the serial console and it was just stuck even before getting to the FreeBSD boot menu.

Nothing has been touched just a simple reboot. I can boot with the CD but I'm not really sure what to do so if anyone else have had this problem, I'd appreciate the help.

Here is a screenshot, it's been like this since last night.

Serial console

Hi,

I had the same problem after 'fiddling' with the webgui. I enabled the serial console without knowing what it did.. and sure enough -after reboot the system hangs.

My solution was to enable my serial port in BIOS and voila! FreeNAS boots :)

hope this helps someone outthere ;)
