I had FreeNAS setup on a single USB drive, that I was planning on putting into a RAID later on.... well later on didn't come soon enough as after a storm that cut power, beyond what my UPS would keep it running it at, it's now not booting.
Did I have a backup of the config? No...
Was my USB in RAID1? No....
Do I know exactly what I'm doing? No....
The data on the drive isn't really that important, anything really important is on my Dropbox, and on my other Buffalo NAS, but there were some movies and stuff that hadn't been duplicated yet. Is there any easy way to get this up and running and still retain my data? I read that I could reinstall FreeNAS, and recreate the same type of RAID volume with the same name, and it would pick it up? I'm thinking a FSCK on the boot volume may work, but grub rescue doesn't help me much there, is there another shell to access maybe?
