Hi
I'm running FreeNAS on a HP Micro Server Gen8 with 12GB of memory.
I use a Santa Cruz USB stick on the motherboard USB port internal to the case, to boot from. In the past I had an older USB stick and that failed and started reporting errors so I cloned it to a new stick and it was fine for a while.
I've also got hold of an SSD and was going to use that as the boot disk replacing the USB until I started having some problems described below.
Its been running fine for a couple of years, but recently the shares exported on the disk pool would stop working after a few minutes. I ran disk health checks and even the whole HP healthcheck on memory disks etc. and nothing was reported as an error.
Even with all these problems the system would reboot fine, and come up ok and then after a few minutes the shares would just disappear. I couldn't see any error logs or anything. The Web Interface would also freeze and the only way to recover was to reboot.
However recently it has developed an error when it panics and drops into the debugger just as the data pool is being mounted on boot.
I get exactly the same message each time.
I have tried removing one disk at a time and the error continues to occur on reboot until there is either no disks or just one disk left.
It may not be the wisest move, but in frustration I booted without the disks and added them in one at a time. The disks were recognised and appeared in the list of disks in the GUI, but the data pool didn't come up (not a surprise) and any attempt to import the data pool fails to provide any disks to select from.
I've reseated memory and cleared any dust etc.
Is there anything I can do ?
Thanks
Richard
