I have FreeNAS 8.3.0R operating with miniDLNA 1.0.24 amd64 on a HP N40L uServer on my LAN. FreeNAS is on a USB stick, miniDLNA on HDD. HDD is WD Red 1.0T used as basic CIFS storage disk and is setup with UFS.
It has run for almost a year after I built the install with very few issues since, so I am not very FreeNAS savvy.
I recently had a power failure and the server didn't come back on line. Re-booted a few times, same.
Got a screen and keyboard up to it and found the following:
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY:
ufs: /dev/ufs/volume1 (/mnt/NASDISK1)
Automatic file system check failed; help!
I tried to run fsck -y /dev/ufs/NASDISK1 but system wouldn't find it.
I did however power down and pulled out the HDD and when re-powered the server came back on line and I could access the FreeNas GUI.
Using Volume Manager I removed NASDISK1 from the storage and shutdown.
I re-inserted the HDD back into the server and FreeNAS GUI is accessible . However when I try to re-attach the NASDISK1 volume in Volume Manager, the Add Volume button also has in red the warning "Existing data will be cleared". (Other sites with fixes for similar problems have re-attached without losing data and haven't mentioned the warning)
I am assuming this is losing my data on the HDD so I haven't proceeded.
Q1. Assuming this would wipe the data on the HDD is there a way of re-attaching without clearing or does fsck need to done somehow?
Q2. Is this problem better handled by a later version of FreeNAS? Should I update FreeNAS or will this just confuse the issue more?
