Dear community,
We've did some research, but until now it's not clear for us what to do.
We got a customer with a FREE NAS 9.3 installed. No idea, if the system is installed on the disks itself, or it runs from USB (maybe that's the problem, why we got stuck).
Anyway, the USB stick was removed from someone, and now the FreeNAS tells in the system, that the USB stick is removed, and in the Boot section he also misses him.
What does that mean, and how can we make sure, the next boot, the FreeNAS boots again.
What we've done is:
- make a config backup (DB-File)
- "burned" the 9.3 ISO on a USB
What is not clear for us, is, if thats the way it was installed, or how we make FreeNAS system to boot from USB stick itself.
Is there not a possibility, as long FreeNAS runs, that we plug in a new stick and tell the system to put all the Boot-Data on the stick again.
As I've said, I'm not sure, what is the way it was installed - boot from the stick itself, or somehow else.
I don't want to get too deep in the FreeNAS, as it get's removed soon, but just want to make sure, the NAS boots again with the correct config next time.
