FreeNas Won't boot correctly

[Drew Learns Tech]

I've had my server running for a few days and I had a power loss. Now it won't boot correctly and I can't connect to the web UI here is what it says. How do I fix?

It can't boot from your boot-drive.

Check if the cables are still attached securely to the drive.

 

If it still does not work, i guess it pays to have a backup? Load a backup drive/usb stick and it should load - my guess is, the sudden shutdown by the power loss damaged the drive. 

Maybe try connecting the drive to another computer and see if there is anything you can save, if you did not back it up beforehand.

Appears to be a WD blue (250gb) which is newer, surprised it's unhappy after a power failure (newer drives usually have spindown tech).

 

You can boot from a flash drive, if you have a space one laying around I'd suggest installing FreeNAS onto that and booting. The volumes/arrays will import very nicely into anything that supports ZFS, the only thing you'll have lost is the FreeNAS configuration, but not data (assuming your other disks are ok)...

Seems to be booting from the boot drive, otherwise he wouldn't be getting this freebsd screen/output.

Seems like a bad block - what sort of storage pool do you have?

Can you get to a prompt? Tried Ctrl+Alt+F1?

 

If so, can you run smartctl -a /dev/ada0

 

And also run zpool status <poolname>
