Hey guys,
this forum helped me several times to solve my problems. Now i have to ask something, because i didn't find anything similar. I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right section, but i hope so;)

I have the following problem:
I did a reinstall of FreeNAS. Of course, i did a backup of my encrypted volumes geli.key.
In the fresh installation i want to reimport the volume. Therefor the wizard asks me to decrypt the volume with the geli.key + passphrase and everything works fine. But during step 3, the computer crashes or has a hard shutdown. The screen shows some call traces (very similar to the linux ones), but the screen changes to fast to see some details. At the end i was able to keep the following error:

Tracing command kernel pid 0 tid 101086 td 0xce262000
***error reading from address 2a69f0d1 ***
db:0:kdb.enter.default> textdump dump
Dump partition block size (4096) not textdump block size (512) Dump partition blo
ck size (4096) not textdump block size (512)db:0:kdb.enter.default> reset

Thanks and greetings out of germany (so ignore my language faults)

Can you post your hardware specs, FreeNAS version, etc like the forum rules ask? And I'd lke to know why you chose to reinstall FreeNAS. You didn't say if it was because of this issue or because of something else and I don't like to assume anything.

i reinstalled because i installed win7 on internal hdd.....freenas is on a usb-pen (32bit atm --> issue is reproducible under all 9.x freenas versions))
Hardware specs:
Machine: asus x59gl
ram: 3gb
cpu: pentium t3200

i hope that's all

Well, you're running ZFS with less than 1/2 of the recommended RAM. So you can expect it to not be stable, perform properly, or even necessarily perform at all. Please see the FreeNAS hardware requirements section of the manual for more information.

You should upgrade your RAM before going further as data loss can result from not using enough RAM.

Thanks.....with that idea of having not enough ram i tried the x64 version of freenas. On a 3gb ram machine. I know i need more ram, but it ran flawless in the past and so does it now.
So 64bit-version was the solution.
