OK, I'm new to FreeNAS so go easy...
I had a freenas up and running. Version 11.0. Everything was working great. I decided to try to install openVPN on it. I found a tutorial and it was kind of long. I stopped in the middle, started poking around the freenas webgui and say that I can update (under system, update tab) my freenas. So I proceeded to update (apply pending update). It went pretty long, so I just left it running overnight.
This morning I turn on my computer and found out I can't get onto the freenas webgui anymore. I hook up a monitor and keyboard and found that somehting has frozen (didn't take a picture of the message). I rebooted the PC, I poked around some more and I finally got it back up. I found out that everything changed! My ip address, passwords, etc. That stuff is easy and i was able to set it up. But I found out I might have accidently deleted my data!! My jails are gone (I had a plexmedia going, open vpn, etc. I had 3). My volumes are gone. I remmeber seeing some folders in the /mnt/ folder. I think one of them was my media folder. and that's gone too.
Is there a way to recover this stuff? What happened? I was careful to make sure I didn't press anything that implied destroy volume or reformat.
Help!
