I used FreeNAS for years, but now I'm in real panic for the first time. Please help.
My boot usb flash died. I have two encrypted pools. I reinstalled on a new usb flash. I imported a config that was just 14 days old. Everything looked good so far. Then I tried to decrypt the pool but it said it won't decrypt, but password was right.
I have a recovery key but that is years old, I'm not even sure if it belongs to the pools. It didn't work either.
Do I need the recovery key after first installation? I always thought the password would be enough and only if the password is lost I would need the key. Was my assumption wrong?
