Hi,
I've been trying to figure this out this problem for a whole day now, but I'm feeling that no-one haven't had identical problem than I'm facing in here (even many cases does have many similarities). At least I haven't found any solution which would help me.
I've read this forum, manuals and other web pages, but nothing seems to help. OrI just havent found the right answer, yet...
So, the problem is that freenas is installed in single USB memory, which now gives errors and status have turned to degraded. After that I mirrored boot drive, which appears to be successful. Desilvering takes about 40 minutes to complete. After that I have tried to remove old, degraded drive. But all I get is following error shown on attachment.
My last attempt and hope to fix everything, was to reinstall freenas to new USB drive. That succeed, and I were able to import old settings. But, importing the encrypted volume failed. I read about this problem, only to find out that most likely this is a know bug where you cannot do this operation thru GUI (and zpool status gave nothing on command-line). After that I decided to change original USB drive to server. Now everything runs just fine again, except boot disk is degraded and I still cant detach this drive. But I cant live like this for ever, since if drive fails and I cannot import the file system, I have bunch of files and photos worth of nothing. My backup server is under work, but have had problems with the motherboard KVM.
I also tried to update to latest version, but when 11.1 U5 is activated, it wont change after bootup like it should, but U4 will be still running reboot. This must be caused by the problems with USB drive.
Any ideas, what to do next?
