USB Boot is faulted, how can I recover config file

[ahykmr]

Hi,

Thanks in advance. I have freenas 11.2.URI 1 installed, suddenly it stopped working and never booted. I have installed new freenas on other usb boot. But I could not able to get my pool config and I don't want to loose my configuration. Is there any way I can get my config file back.
Thanks again.

Is there any way I can get my config file back.

See post #35 in this link https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/update-went-wrong.74084/page-2#post-514298

Of course, that assumes that you hadn't saved it from the System, General page buttons. If you did, go there and upload it.

Unfortunately I had not saved it. I don't have any config file saved in /var/db/system. Is there any way I can get it config file from my FAULTED boot usb ? so far i have tried
zpool import -f <numericId>

I don't have any config file saved in /var/db/system

Are you sure? That save is an automatic daily system operation as far as I know - at 3AM system time, I think. Was your install up for less than a day or not running overnight?

Here's one of my systems:

Code:
