May 13, 2010 – 11:27 pmJust completed the repair of my FreeNas box. Turns out that the drive reporting all the S.M.A.R.T. errors may not have been bad after all. There were hardware issues on that AthlonXP 1.8Ghz server. So I ended up pulling the drive, and fitting it into an HP D510SFF 1.6Ghz host that I had. I was able to first GHOST the drive off for safe keeping, and then mounted it and tested it in the HP. Worked good, though it took like 6 minutes before the first network packet was received. But I carried the USB card over from FreeNAS (athlonXP) to FreeNAS (Pentium 4 HP), as well as the drives and memory. But now, its all good again. Hopefully it stays up more than 24 hours this time.
