Hello im attaching an unknown error that I cant figure out, my system was completely frozen this morning and the only thing i could get to was the alert which acted like I had unplugged some harddrives (I havent). This is only happened since ive done a fresh install of freenas 11. I was having some issues with it with plex and now my system has this when i wake up in the morning.

By default, swap is striped across your pool HDs. If you have swap in use, and an hd fails, your system will probably hang with the above errors.

Solutions:
Wait for 11.1 which is rumored to mirror swap
Install a script to frequently page in swap
Relocate swap to an ssd device or partition
Relocate swap to your boot disks.

I've documented the latter three. Maybe later I'll link them ;)

The thing is all hdd's are passing smart and the system goes full green when it reboots, thats what i really dont understand. And if it does that should I disable swap?
