I've just completed an upgrade from 9.2.1.7 to 9.3 release. I have several backups of the old configuration files.
After completing the upgrade to 9.3, I decided to replace my RAIDZ2 volume and rebuild a new one, this time as a RAIDZ1 volume. I needed to replace the old RAIDZ2 volume because it was build on an older version of FreeNAS, and the more recent 9.2.x versions didn't like the block size that was chosen during the original volume creation. As a result, the system status indicator in 9.2.1.7 was always issueing a yellow-alert because the volume was not configured "optimally". Now that I was performing an upgrade to 9.3-release, I decided to address the problem.
So I backed up the contents of the RAIDZ2 volume offline, and created a new RAIDZ1 volume. I'm in the process of restoring the backed-up data to the new volume as I type this.
When running through the updated configuration for 9.3-release, I noticed something interesting:
* The old Rsync tasks remained in the configuration file, so the updated freenas installation continues to perform rsyncs on all of my existing clients.
* The old SMB share configuration files are gone. The new updated Freenas 9.3-release doesn't have any of the SMB share information. That's quite troublesome, as I have a dozen share configurations that are now MIA.
I imagine that the SMB shares were blasted away by the process of removing the original RAIDZ2 volume, so that now that I'll be restoring the same data back to the new RAIDZ1 volume, all of the SMB shares will have to be reconfigured.
Is there any way to restore the SMB configuration information from any of the pre-existing configuration files? Or am I hosed?
TIA.
