Thanks, but I've had that UPS for a good many years and I'm well into the 2nd set of backup batteries. This was the first time I've seen something like this and I can't rule out a weak DOM.
It was a little unnerving at first, but FreeNAS is a great OS and since I had a good set of config backups it was pretty easy to recover from. I'm only out the cost of a new DOM and a Molex splitter and I got to use my troubleshooting skillz. DOMs are way better than thumb drives, but they fail just like any SSD. My NAS is happy, I'm happy.
To add a little extra, it may be worth noting that having a mirrored boot drive, which I believe has been supported as of FreeNAS 9.3, is tremendously helpful in these situations, and might be worth considering in the future.
