Both systems are identical (Based on recommended equipment).
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz
Supermicro X9SCM-B LGA1155/ Intel C204 PCH/ DDR3/ SATA3/ V&2GbE/ MicroATX Server Motherboard
With 16335MB error correcting RAM
4) 4 TB WD RED SATA drives
1) 16GB USB drive to boot from.
Both servers were running 9.2.1.5
Upgraded both of my Freenas servers with 9.2.1.8 and they both appeared to crash.
I used the Upgrade Firmware option of the FreeNas gui
One is local to my office. The other is in the next town over.
After what seemed a painful amount of time the FreeNas server local came back up.
But there are no ping responses from the server the next town over.
So I am driving over there to plug in a monitor to see what it is doing (or not doing).
Ok so I reported this problem before - when a reboot is called for, the last line on the console is...
da0: <pny USB 2.0 FD 1.00 > s/n ############## detached
Why are we detaching the device we are shutting down from?
reset or power cycle the system and we get this...
This is a NAS data disk and can not boot system: System Halted
The only fix I have found is to reload a fresh copy of FreeNAS on the USB stick.
This is not a convenient way to upgrade a server.
Is this a bad USB stick?
Really would like to see a resolution to this before I commit sensitive data to this type of storage device.
Thanks
