FreeNAS won't boot Error 5, Unretryable Error

[Wolfeman0101]

My system went unresponsive today and I had to do a hard reboot. Now it's coming up with the same error over and over:

Code:

(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0):  Error 5, Unretryable error
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0):  READ(10). CDB: 28 00 00 61 a0 0f 00 00 02 00
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0):  CAM status: SCSI Status Error
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0):  SCSI status: Check Condition
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0):  SCSI sense: MEDIUM ERROR asc:11,0 (Unrecovered read error)

Not really sure what to do next but the system won't boot past this.

Install on another stick and import your config.

Is there a guide on how to get the config off the old USB?

 

[Bidule0hm]

Go into the GUI --> System --> General then click on the Save config button at the bottom ;)

I can't get the old USB to boot to save the config.

I looked at that other thread and I'm having trouble mounting the old USB so I can grab the config file off. When I plug it in it says it's on da1.

 

[Bidule0hm]

What are you doing exactly?

Who says that?

I'm on the shell of FreeNAS. I have the old volume already imported and seems to be fine. All I'm trying to do is grab the config off the old USB so I don't have to re setup all my users and cron jobs etc. I created a folder /mnt/oldusb but I'm not sure how to mount the old USB to that directory so I can get to /data/freenas-v1.db and copy it off the USB to my volume and import it via the GUI.

 

[Bidule0hm]

Well, execute camcontrol devlist and post the output. Plug the old USB stick. Re-execute camcontrol devlist and post the output. Execute zpool import and post the output.

Just to be sure: the old USB stick was a FreeNAS 9.3 install, right?

Ok, good.

Execute zpool import -f -R /mnt 6823956135361349698 oldboot

Execute zpool import -f -R /mnt 6823956135361349698 oldboot

When I do that I get the error on the shell that brought me here. the Error 5, Unretryable error.

 

[Wolfeman0101]

I'm not sure if we are on the same page but I'm not trying to import the zpool. That automatically worked. I just want to get on the old USB drive and copy off the config file.

 

[Bidule0hm]

No, this pool wasn't imported on his own. The proof is the output of zpool import, if the pool was imported then it wouldn't appear as importable with the zpool command.

Unfortunately this means the USB stick is corrupted beyond recovery, you can't do anything to recover the config AFAIK.

The only positive thing is that now you know you should backup the config after each change you made to it.

 

[Ericloewe]

There might be a backup somewhere on the .System dataset. Sorry, don't know the exact location, but the devs have been mentioning it lately.

You should still make regular backups, though.

 

[Wolfeman0101]

I couldn't recover the db. I setup backups now for the db to run hourly so hopefully it won't happen again. Thanks for all the help.

 

[cyberjock]

The backup in 9.3 is in /var/db/system.

 

[Wolfeman0101]

The backup in 9.3 is in /var/db/system.

I found your thread with the backup cron job so I got that running daily now.
