Hi All,
I thank ahead for any reply on this thread. I have researched the web and couldn't find the solution to my case here:
1. Fresh Newly built system using latest FreeNas 9.2.1.5 (AMD APU 3300, 16GB ram, 2x-640gb WD Black in ZFS Mirror, 1x-2TB Samsung in ZFS stripe)
2. Trying to import my windows 7 storage drive using FreeNas machine to copy the files. (The drive is a Hitachi 2TB. It is NOT bootable. It has TWO primary NTFS partitions for storage only)
3. Under "view storage" I see the Hitachi drive as "ada2" normal and healthy. When I attempted to use the GUI to import the volume with "NTFS" box checked, it created a volume with error, unable to get drive size or data size.
4. Subsequently, I detached the volume with error and tried to mount the drive through shell. I ran the command "gpart show /dev/ada2" and it returned "no such geom". Then I ran the command "ls /dev/ada2*" and it returned "/dev/ada2".
At this point, I knew something was wrong because the partitions were not picked up by FreeNas. I was expecting something like "ada2s1" or "ada2s2".
5. I ran "ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/ada2 /mnt/hitachi" anyway to see if I can at least get access and was not able to get the drive to mount.
I believe the problem lies in my ntfs partition. Something is causing it to not getting recognized. I have tested the drive by reconnecting it under windows 7 and it worked as it should. I always power down my OS with hibernation turned off.
Could anyone please give me some insight into my problem? Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!
Jack
