Hello
I am new to Freenas and freebsd and I have a problem with the system rebooting after a panic for dirbad mangled entry on /mnt/archives.
I have tried to run fsck with various options, the command fsck -y -t ufs /mnt/archives was the only one that would work all other fsck commands would return "cannot determine file system" however seeing as this machine will panic and crash after 1m32s (this is consistent) the fsck did not get to finish.
I have tried to boot to safe mode but it does not seem to be any different from a normal boot?
I am a windows server admin and dont have much exprience with BSD so I am pretty much lost at the console.
can anyone tell me how to get into safe mode (if that will help) and any ideas on how to fix the mangled entry error or as least stop the 1m32s crash?
the dir /mnt/archives is on my raid array (4 x1TB western Digital) raid 5
system boots from usb flash drive
system is built on an old win2003 server box, dual xeon cpu 2GB ram Intel server board with intel raid controller and 6 slot hot swap drive enclosure.
at this point I do not know the version numbers of freenas an bsd.
any help will be appreciated
