Hi all,
I have a FreeNAS system that has been rock solid for some years (based on HP Microserver N54L). The boot device is a Kingston USB stick, and it was worked and rebooted flawlessly for years.
Recently I ran out of internal space for hard drives, and as a stop-gap measure before I upgrade the platform, I attached a WD USB 8TB hard drive. This works fine in FreeNAS - however it is causing issues with the boot process.
When I try to boot from the Kingston USB stick with the WD drive...
FreeNAS 11.2-U6 - "panic free guard1 fail" on boot with USB hard drive attached
