I've posted about this issue before, but for a while, it was working again.
I really need to understand what the issue is.
I have a Lenovo TS440. I have 4 6TB drives and now 8 1.2 TB drives and the boot ssd.
To me, what ever this is has to be considered a bug. Maybe I just have a really odd scenario, but my NAS quit booting. I've reinstalled Freenas and it still won't boot and it doesn't display any errors. It just gets stuck.
My original thread from March is here. Please see that picture.
I gather that the configuration DB is corrupted but that doesn't seem possible after a fresh install or it's corrupted on the 6TB drives.
The difference between the pic in March and the current one is that it finds 3 pools on boot FreeNAS freenas-boot freenas-boot. One extra freenas-boot since last time.
Ok, since these are hot swappable drives, I pulled them out and tried to reboot. Now it see's only two pools freenas-boot and freenas-boot.
If something prevents a boot without errors, to me, that's a bug.
I had, originally thought this was a hardware issue but I've replaced the ssd and basically the whole computer. I ordered another TS440 from ebay hence now I have the 8 drive raid ..that I have yet to be able to use.
I would love to understand what's going on. I guess I can try an install again without the drives installed to see if it boots .
I did do a (format the drive) install this morning but I left the drives in on first boot. Maybe that was my mistake...
I loved my FreeNas but this is a nightmare. Please help me understand what the issue is.
