I came back today and saw that my FreeNAS box was really busy. Drives were being accessed like crazy and I was unable to do anything with direct access to the server, and the web UI as inaccessible. Pressing the power button normally starts a regular shutdown, so I tried it but nothing happened. It's not scheduled to scrub until the beginning of next month, and it's not connected to the internet so it shouldn't be updating either. So I did something that might be really stupid, and I forced a power off. When I booted again, I was on GRUB with the error "no such device: <some device ID>"
What do I do next? I have no idea how to use GRUB. I was booting off of a flash drive. Could it have gotten corrupted? Should I try to flash FreeNAS on a different USB stick and then attempt to import my array to it? Please advise.
