Upgraded 10.4 Corral to 11.0 Stable - Total Failure / System USB Disk IO errors / bootloop

[serva]

Hello,

I was very worried about upgrading and was rightfully so, this upgrade has seriously made a mess and I don't know what to do now. On boot up it show's hundreds of errors for everything, initially starting off with IO errors then still attempting to boot up causing more errors and finally reboots and does it all over again! Anyone any idea what the heck has happened, I seriously doubt my USB is to blame considering it's a good one - very reliable and I haven't had any issues with the other ones of the same type. This appears to be a dodgy upgrade.

What should I do? What happens with my data drive? Can I recover all my configurations?

OMG.. just looked through other posts and found lots of people having the same issue?! WHY THE F*** IS THIS OPTION EVEN PROVIDED WHEN YOU KNOW IT BREAKS THE SYSTEM?? Jeezo what kind of shoddy practice is this? This is flat out incompetence and a complete disregard toyour users. Damn I'm angry with you guys.

As you discovered, upgrading is not possible. Instead follow the instructions in https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...ng-from-freenas-corral-to-freenas-9-10-11.36/.

I did exactly the same thing with exactly the same results :/.
