in the production machine (same hard drives, newly installed ssd for boot), shell to /var/db/system has the one empty config and the other one dated today which only has a single folder with a single db in it. I'm not smart enough to know, but I'd think this is the current (mostly blank) config from fresh install just as I posted above.
However.... I took the failed usb doms and put them in the other identical server. One it wouldn't boot off of at all. The other it would boot off of, with a handful of bad errors (shortening expected read, misc bad stuff...) but it does get to the truenas prompt and I can get to a shell. My hope was if I could boot off the failed usb doms my config should be there? Note, this machine I got the usbdoms to boot on - does NOT have any hard drives, my pool isn't there.
My thought was to plug ethernet into it, do an ifconfig to bring up the IP at some other address, and maybe I could ssh or smth the config from there. However, in /var/db/system there is just one folder called samba4, and the tdb files in it seem to my eye to be related to my drive shares. There is also a services.db file in /var/db.
The issue is, I'm not familiar with the filesystem layout of truenas at this point to know if my config is there on the usb drive somewhere, and where to look. I assume it's not /var/db/system/ as the only thing there is that samba4 folder. Am I on a fools errand and should just start re-adding services and vms through the ui or is there a magic spot I'm not looking on those usb drives?
