Yesterday, I returned home to find that all of my programs were crashing on the various computers hooked up to my network. From experience, I know that that usually means that my FreeNAS (on which is located all home directories for all machines) has failed.
Usually, when this happens, I reboot FreeNAS by issuing the command "shutdown -r now", or if it is not taking keyboard input, sometimes I have to do the power switch method. And, usually, whatever of these two methods I use, the NAS comes back to life and all is well. Not yesterday.
I am thinking one of the disks &/or the controller has failed, but here's the kicker: When I disconnect the (suspected) disk from the (suspected) controller, FreeNAS will boot, but will not mount the volume, being that part of it is not present. If I leave it connected, FreeNAS will not boot at all. I get dozens of messages such as:
mps0: (0:4:0) terminated ioc 804b scsi 0 state 0 xfer 0
This line repeats itself about 10 or 12 times, then I get four lines each starting with (da0:msp0:0:4:0) and the last ending with (unrecovered read error). Then the above line repeats 10 or 12 times again.
Any idea where to begin?
Thanks
Brian
