My boot pool corrupted, i guess?

My boot drive was a 64gb pendrive but recently after a power outage its not work and shows this error
”CallError [EFAULT] Login with credentials failed: pututline() failed with error: Invalid exchange”

this error comes whenever i try to login to the web interface the all the apps and storage is still accesable on their own like my jellyfin and immich servers are working jsut fine, its just i cant access the web console, is there any ways to fix this or do i have to reinstall the os again,

i also have no prior backups of the config file

You’d have to physically plug in a monitor & keyboard and use the passwd command - if that doesn’t help, then yeah, clean install. Less painful than you’d expect.

Should be, but

Will make things painfull :sweat_smile:

If changing the password via shell not works as expected, i would try to mount the thumb somewhere (where ZFS Is available ofc) tryng to extract the config, to avoid having to create everything again from scratch… Hoping is not corrupted

I don’t want to twist the knife, but relying on a USB thumb and not backing up configuration regularly is genuinely reckless. There are a lot of better cheap options: SATA USB adapter, pci-ex NVME adapters…
