I had an outage to my internet connection early this morning and I was going to be out for the entire day so I figured I will shut down some of my computers and give them a break until I return in the evening because of no internet. Sometime during the day while I was not home my internet started working so when I returned this evening I started my main pc and confirmed internet is back on then powered up the TrueNAS machine and another computer because I wanted to access some files on of the TrueNAS pool shares. But the network shares in windows My Computer were not showing as connected. First thing I did is in sequence reboot all my internet devices giving them time to start up. FIOS modem, pfSense, Wireless router, Gigabit switch and finally shut down with power button the TrueNAS machine and after 10 seconds turned it on again but I noticed that the TrueNAS shut down was immediate as if the software was not actually running. So I get a spare monitor and keyboard and connect to TrueNAS machine and see that during boot I get the following message. "This is a FreeNAS data disk and can not boot system. System halted."
What I want to know is if there is a way to repair the data on my TrueNAS boot drives without reinstalling from scratch. I am fairly certain that my data pools are fine but I am trying to find out how both SSDs refuse to boot when I set them up during my initial TrueNAS install in RAID 1 configuration. I don't think both SSDs died at the same exact time especially that in the morning they were working fine and the TrueNAS machine was working normally.
So to summarize, I need to fix the boot on the TrueNAS SSDs which are set up inside TrueNAS config as RAID1.
I added a media link above to this post about how the system boots and some bios info.
Thanks in advance to anyone with suggestions. BTW this is my first total failure of the nas in 2 years since I built it.
