I just set up a FreeNAS VM to start experimenting with. VM on ESXi, passthrough of a LSI9200, connected to external disk shelf.
I figured it would be a good thing to know what would happen if my disk shelf lost power or similar, so I powered it down. This led to two unexpected things:
1. It took > 1 minute until FreeNAS seemed to notice (pop an alert in the UI, that is)
2. After it noticed, a lot of things seem to die. The UI no longer works, ssh doesn't work, and even console login stalls after giving the password.
Is this actually expected behavior, or something likely to be wrong with my install?
