Hello,
I have been using FreeNAS for some time (since 9.2.1.3 was released, at least) without any issues, but was interested in some of the new virtual box hosting features of the more recent versions so decided to upgrade to 9.3, then possibly also to 9.10.
I backed up the config file and data, then attempted to do a GUI upgrade to 9.3, but it seems to have failed during the process:
After continuing, and eventually rebooting, the system refuses to boot, saying it cannot find the boot media. As the boot media in question was formerly a 8GB USB thumb drive, I'll likely try to upgrade onto a new USB boot device, and either try to upgrade from the new USB device, or otherwise do a fresh install / import config and datasets.
The question I have is should I just try to do a fresh install of 9.10 and then re-import the 9.2.1.3 configuration file, or should I try to do an ISO upgrade to 9.3 first, then try the GUI upgrade again from there? I should also mention that I am several thousand miles away from the physical file server and my interaction with it is somewhat limited to the hands I can find to mash keys with.
My system is configured as follows:
Motherboard: supermicro x8dth-if
RAM: 48GB ECC
Processors: 2x Xeon 5506
RAID Controller: Areca ARC-1224-8i (JBOD)
The storage is 8x 4TB drives in two volumes (RAIDZ2) of five and three disks respectively, with a single dataset spanning both volumes.
Thank you in advance for any insight you might offer.
