I have been running FreeNAS 9.2.1.8 and saved my configuration prior to what I thought would be an easy process of just upgrading to FreeNAS 9.3.
That didn't work because it complained about not enough space on the thumb drive., which was only 2GB.
So I then installed FreeNAS 9.3 on a 8GB thumb drive, thinking that after booing back into the webgui of FreeNAS 9.3 it would just be a matter of restoring the previous 9.2.1.8 configuration file.
Oh no, it wasn't that simple, and now my FreeNAS box is not seen on the network, I have no storage drives etc etc.
Any ideas as to why restoring the config file did not keep things as they were, and what is the best way to do that now?
Just one thing I have thought of ; is the new 9.3 build the x64bit version or x86bit, because I was running the x64bit version of FreeNAS 9.2.1.8 before.
Thanks
