Nobody has access to the data and/or the configuration of your NAS but you.

But you might like to truncate that to recent data from shortly before the issue occurred.

This is the third (or fourth?) time you've started such a thread.

Why do you keep doing this?

@jamesjamesjames "SAS MegaRAID" - Which model and has it been flashed to IT Mode or are you running hardware RAID from the LSI Card?
What where the boot disks plugged into, and what were they?

I / We need a detailed hardware setup - otherwise we cannot help you

IF you want us to help you - you need to answer all the questions, completely - otherwise you won't get any help

Let me be very clear - if you want any help
1. Detailed hardware setup - all the details - I do not want to have to wade through pages of half answered questions.
2. Does TrueNAS even boot if so:
Post the result of "zpool status -v" in codeblocks​
Post the result of "zpool import" in codeblocks​
Post the truncated (by date) result of "zpool history"​
5. Do you have a backup - if not - why not?
6. Are the disks showing up in the RAID Controller?
7. You mentioned that you have tried to recover - what have you tried?
8. Do you have a copy of the TrueNAS config file in a safe place (not on the NAS)?

If you do not supply this info then we cannot help you.

Additional Points:
You are using hardware RAID that has not been flashed to IT Mode (I am assuming and if it even can) - this is NOT a good idea and is highy conducive to losing your data as ZFS and hardware RAID do not work well together. ZFS is not designed to work well with hardware RAID as it likes direct access to the disks.
