Added a failing drive into my pool

[sharpie]

I had my FreeNAS up and running just how I wanted it with no problems at all with 500 GB or space. I found a HDD that wasn't being used and I wanted more space so I added it into my system and I chose to make it and extended part of my other 500 GB drive so it would show up as 1 TB. Little did I know that this drive was having problems and it always disconnects itself and doesn't reconnect. I started messing around and I think I have totally screwed eveything up because I detached the entire 1 Tb drive from inside my WebGui and when I try to reimport it doesn't work. All I want is to have the data off of my first drive.
When I do zpool status it says

Code:

no pools available

When I do zpool import it says

Code:

 pool: Storage

Yeah, the disk you added by itself (gptid/6b6441d3-fbcd-11e2-b227-001aa0131ac1) is a stripe. If that disk fails, you lose EVERYTHING. Unfortunately for you, that disk is failing. What happens when you try to import the pool from the GUI? What error do you get?

 

[sharpie]

As in a auto import? It scans for things then shows up and has me select a volume, and then it says error: volume 'Storage' failed to import, for farther details check pool status

 

[cyberjock]

That's not too useful. Let me think for a few mins...

 

[sharpie]

Take all the time you need

 

[cyberjock]

I'll send you a PM.

You should just be able to restore from your backup. Problem solved.

 

[cyberjock]

You are right.. you "should". Except he had no backups :(
