Description

With the x-series, there is only 1 boot device on which the OS is installed. This poses a significant problem in the event of the drive failing. When this happens, the system has to be, basically, re-deployed as a new unit. While it's, ultimately, up to the customer to backup their configuration database, it would be incredibly useful to include the database dump in the output of the freenas-debug script.

The likelihood of the support department having a debug of the customers system is quite high. This would allow us to better server the customer by being able to rebuild their database to a known working copy.

I have added a new module to the freenas-debug script to do this.

Yes, if this is intended to land in TN 11.1 it'll need a PR into the freenas/11.1-stable branch as well.

Due to gitardness, this is the correct commit message :-)

The name of the menu entry is (currently) just

-B  Dump freenas-v1.db

This does not give the user any idea about what it actually does. It should be:

-B  Dump System Configuration Database

It should not say "freenas", since this applies to both FreeNAS and TrueNAS.
