Hi FreeNAS forum people!
I have run a FreeNAS box for a few years, and always have just about got by, or have figured out what to do using this fantastic forum as a guide, however I feel this may (or may not) be beyond me, and I don't want to risk continuing and losing everything, so I thought I'd reach out...
Currently I have a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5550 @ 2.67GHz (8 cores) and 12GB DDR3, running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201505130355. It has 5TB of Hard Drive, but I run the actually system from a 16GB USB2 Stick which lives inside the machine plugged directly into the MB.
I've just had this alert pop up and I'm not sure what to do next:
However, I have lots of important stuff on there and I just dont want to lose it or start again if possible. Could someone kind please advise on what I should do next? I found a similar post but it wasn't referring to the BOOT volume (otherwise I would have tried my best with that solution).
Hopefully I have provided enough info above, but let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks in advance. Jez

CRITICAL: The boot volume state is ONLINE: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected.
I'm worried that the USB stick may have died, and I'm too scared to reboot and find out (Sorry if that was a stupid thing to say - maybe if it's dead the box would be too?)
