Hi all,

i had a bad crash on my freenas 9 system. the hole motherboard and one of the five drives died...

now i set up a new freenas 11 system and attached the 4 remaining drives. Via "zpool import" i imported my pool called "PoolZ1".
when i run zpool list the pool shows up with status "degraded".

Question:
What do i have to do to get the GUI find this pool? The "Import Volume" wizzard cant find anything ..,

Thank you for your help

Thank you :-D ... i made it

The stupid "trick" was to NOT Import the Pool after the 5. drives worked via zpool import ... after exporting the pool the GUI could find it ... everything fine now.

Indeed. When you import the pool from the CLI, the GUI doesn't know that it's been imported, and it can't see the pool to import (since it's already imported). Export the pool from the CLI, and the GUI should then see it to import.
