Hello FreeBSD community,
I recently completed a backup and restore of a FreeBSD server successfully however I am having a problem on the FreeBSD boot up. It gives me a Root Mount Error on boot up. The error does provide some suggestions on how to fix the problem and I do follow them but again I receive the same error. I also tried some changes to the loader variables but again I receive the same error. I also noticed that the loader variable vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/mirror/root is not correct and when I make the change to the correct root parition in the freebsd loader the change is only temporary it goes back to the same device file upon the next reboot. How do you make that change permanent? Or is there a way to reset the loader as the loader is referencing an old disk? I have attached a screenshot of the error message.Has anyone seen this error and has completed a solution to it? There also two small messages above this ROOT MOUNT ERROR about the drive having GPT corruption I ran the gpart recover command on that drive ad0 using the FreeBSD disc shell and it stated that no recovery was needed also when I ran the restore the command gave no errors about a corrupt restore so I think that message is not even relevant. Look forward to your response and possible solution to my Root Mount Error problem.
