Hi all,
I did a regular update to my FreeNAS server on Friday, and afterward I could not access it. A trip to the basement server rack and a reboot showed a Grub error on the boot USB stick, a Sandisk Cruzr. I found this thread in my search for a solution:

and I installed FreeNAS onto a new 16Gb Sandisk USB stick using the latest .iso from the repositories. I want to copy freenas-v1.db from the old disk to the new. I followed this step:
I really appreciate any help that you can offer.

and I installed FreeNAS onto a new 16Gb Sandisk USB stick using the latest .iso from the repositories. I want to copy freenas-v1.db from the old disk to the new. I followed this step:
- Use zpool import to see the ID of the pool (you don't want to use the name to mount the pool as it's the same name than the current system pool)
- Use zpool import -R /mnt the_ID_of_the_pool new_pool_name to import the pool which should be moutned as /mnt/new_pool_name
I really appreciate any help that you can offer.
