Ok let me give you all the cliff notes.
I setup an old computer, artigo a1100, with a 10gb harddrive inside. Sometime last night the com died on me. It wont start up anymore. I cant even see the bios screen. anyways i had two 1tb hard drives externally attached to it, in a 4 bay raid.
For some reason the computer auto restarts when a external is plugged in at boot so i unplug it and replug it when freenas is booting and freenas 8 only recognized 2 of the four slots as well. its a generic raid that works perfectly on winblows 7 and ubuntu.
Back on to the drives. i now have these two 1tb hd that i cant access. since linux and win cant see these natively, zfs, i choose to load a thumb drive with freenas 8 so i can use it on my netbook to access the drives to copy them off there and on to an ext3 formated drive. The ext3 drive purpose is so that ubuntu and openfiler can access it if another com dies on me in the future. also so that im not doing this, posting on a forum about something i know less than nothing about, zfs filling system.
so my question is, what is the easiest way to import the drive to my new thumbdrive/netbook freenas8 from my recently crashed artigo freenas8 com.
both freenas are the same version. installed/loaded from the same disc.
when i tried the auto import, i assumed with every new version it will make the software easier for common folk to use, i recieved this error.
zfs notice: prefetch is disabled by default on i386 -- to enable, add "vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0" to /boot/loader.comf.
zfs warning: recommended minimum kmem_size is 512mb; expect unstable behavior. consider tuning vm.kmem_size and vm.kmem_size_max in /boot/loader.conf.
zfs filsystem version 4
zfs storage pool version 15
as well there is no volume listed under "view all volumes" after the auto import list disappears. i restarted the com and drives and nothing. when i do the auto import it comes up on the list "disk lan_fill [zfs - stripe]"
Can anyone please tell me what the Hell to do? i dont want a long winded speech i just want the short and sweet step by step detailed, the fewer the better, to get my drive operational without having to format it. i have worked to hard to build my movie collection on one of the TB drives.
i searched google and all the people having the same problem was with freenas 7 ---> to freenas 8. since thats not my situation i would assume that that info is null and void to me. and if it isn't that im defiantly not going to think twice about leaving freenas behind.
if you want anymore info let me know and i will give all i can.
Thanks in advance
p.s. if there is already a tutorial for this please point me in that direction. i searched google for this problem and came up dry. i cant be the only one to run into it.
