Upgrade? FreeNAS 7 to current

[iandroo888]

So i had my FreeNAS running for a long while now (few years) with three 3tb's raid0 and two 1.5tb's raid1. For some reason, after i came back from my trip (3 days), when i turn it on, its like the mobo wont start up? like the video card is runnin at max and wont go down (does that make sense...? lol). its an older mobo so no diag code either =/

Specs is as follows
AMD 4350e
Asus Crosshair
4GB (4x1gb) corsair dominator
corsair cx430 psu
3 Seagate 3TB hd's
2 Seagate 1.5TB hd's
3 120mm fans
Corsair H50 AIO cooling

i can hear the pump come up and the water moving so its not like it wasnt being cooled and pump died or something... any ideas?

i have a hp z820 sitting around. maybe use this chance to upgrade? but i have a bunch of stuff on those drives. how would i go about on this "upgrade" ? i can keep the drives in the same order. i dont remember the names or config. i believe they are all software config thru freenas though.

can i just boot a new version of FreeNas onto a new usb, hook it up to the z820, plug in the drive and it loads it up?

FreeNAS 7 is not FreeNAS that you see here today. FreeNAS 7 became nas4free and they have their own forum.

You MIGHT be able to get FreeNAS to read the data but you haven't really indicated what file system you were using. UFS? ZFS?

Your best bet to get the data off would be to boot up nas4free and try to import your disks. You can try it with FreeNAS but since they aren't the same project/product, you might not enjoy the outcome if FreeNAS does something funky to it.

If you have UFS on your raids, then 9.3 is of no use to you as UFS support was removed.

does this info help ?

Qty 3 - Seagate (ST33000651AS/CC45) 3GB (SoftRaid) - ad4/ad6/ad8 - "ZFS_Management_RAID0_3" - Type (Stripe) - ZFS_Virtual_RAID0_3
Qty 2 - Seagate (ST31500341AS/CC1G) 1.5GB (ZFS storage pool device) - ad12/ad14 - "ZFS-Management_ZFS1_15" - Type (raidz1) - ZFS_Virtual_ZFS1_15

so i realized either slot(s) died or stick(s) died. random idea to pull some out and see if it is. its booted up and running now =X would be nice if i can upgrade
