Hi, hoping someone can help me recover my FreeNAS box.

I've tried to upgrade an earlier version of FreeNAS 8 to the latest 8.0.2 release and during the upgrade somethings been screwed up.

I've re-installed FreeNAS on a new USB key and imported my Volume but is there any way to recreate my iSCSI extents and keep the data on the volume?

The FreeNAS box had 2 extents, a 4tb and 2tb extent presented to a Windows 2008 virtual server via iSCSI.

Any ideas? Even a way to recover the config file from the old usb stick? I thought I had a backup of my config but it seems I don't :(
 
Well I've figured out what happened, I only had a 1GB USB stick when I tried to upgrade so the upgrade has failed and part installed over the previous FreeNAS. I can't seem to use the roll back option either on boot so that must have been corrupted.

Anyone have any ideas? Would prefer not to lose my data.
 
I have a backup of everything really important, but it did have my only copies of my ripped movies. I can re rip everything but it's an 8TB system and I'd rather not if the data is intact and can be recovered.

The volume has been imported no problems but I need to recover/recreate the extent config.
