While waiting for my replacement WD Red 4TB drive I rebooted my freenas. I have a black cloud over me as the system wouldn't come back up. It gave an error about not being able to boot from the NAS data disk. I presumed my sandisk boot USB went bad so I created a USB installer FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 (86c7ef5). I plugged the USB into a USB 3.0 slot on the side of my case and another blank ADATA USB into the other USB port. For sum reason the install failed and did not recognize the blank ADATA USB to install the system onto. After having no luck switching it to a USB 2.0 port on the back of the motherboard I tried a Lexar USB and for some reason it worked. Can anyone explain why?
After booting into the FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 (86c7ef5) I uploaded my old config from FreeNAS-9.10.2 and rebooted. A bunch of errrors flashed across the screen unfortunately I wasn't fast enough to record them. My system is backup and running, is there anything I should check or is it normal with uploading a different version config file?
When I open my case and replace my HDD I will replace the USB back onto the USB header on the inside of the motherboard and setup a mirror ie. 2 boot USB devices. Do I have to adj the BIOS to change the boot order or will my freenas automatically boot to the other USB if there is a problem with the original?
Can I reformat and use the Sandisk USB that stopped working for file storage or throw it out?
