Hi all,

New to the forums but I have been using FreeNAS 11.3 u7 since 2018.

It has been rock solid up until about a week ago when I was not able to access the admin page. This lead me down the path of rebooting the NAS. Upon reboot the OS SSD Started barking about unreadable sectors and upon loading of the OS would just flood the console with them until a retries exhausted message appears . I have been able to get my NFS share to work that hosts my VMDK files for my Esxi Lab, but it is hit or miss and does not work for very long when it works.

Long story short, I thought I had a config backup but it turns out I do not... I can not get into the admin page to make one. I can't load the shell either. The console menu locks up even when I try to gracefully shut down or reboot the NAS now.

Is there any way for me to safely grab a copy of the config off the OS drive OR a method I can try to get my NAS back up and functioning, at least long enough for me to grab the config?
