Can't import pool. Drives "unavailable"

[dmo]

Since you are new, I highly recommend that you take some time to go over the informative thread/literature in these forums and get yourself a bit more educated. Not knocking you, just a suggestion that will pay dividends.

Most contributors have links to threads in their signature that you can/should at least start with. Feel free to look at the "Recommended Reading" in my signature for an initial start.

Just read the ZFS basics (a.k.a Cyberjock's Guide). Wish I had read that before. So I assume now that my data is not recoverable and is lost. Chalk up a point for inpatients.

I'm not saying that is the case, but am saying that proper knowledge/understanding goes a long ways to properly designing a FreeNas system.

I believe that you were still going to post results from the SMART Long tests?

I would, I just don't know how to retrieve the data.

Got SSH enabled and Putty? Could just use that to connect to the Server and then Copy/Paste the Output here (in CODE tags please).

No. I haven't touched ssh at all yet.

• *** On mine I do have "Login as Root with Password" Checked

Download Putty (just need the "Putty.exe", which is Stand-Alone version..)

Use that to connect to your FreeNas Server and then you can run commands. Can even Copy/Paste into and from there. *** Right-Mouse Click is the easy way to Paste.

Ok I'll try that later tonight. What commands will retrieve all my SMART results?

Code:

smartctl -A /dev/adaX

?

 

[Mirfster]

Yeah, will have to run it for each drive.
Like:

• smartctl -A /dev/ada0
• smartctl -A /dev/ada1
• etc...

I've given you that answer, @SweetAndLow has given you that answer, and @Ericloewe has given you that answer. And it isn't the command you quoted.

 

[danb35]

smartctl -A /dev/ada0

smartctl -a, not smartctl -A. Per the manpage, -A only shows the SMART attributes, and wouldn't have the self-test results.

I stand corrected. Responded too fast.

None of which told me that was how to retrieve results from commanded SMART self tests. I'll post the results tonight when I get home, hopefully they will give some clues.

 

[dmo]

I'm getting basically updated results to what I posted before.

 

[Robert Trevellyan]

results from commanded SMART self tests

The only result you get from a SMART test is pass or fail. Those are listed in the output from smartctl -a. The reason it's important to have them running on a schedule is that they can give early warning of problems with a drive. FreeNAS SMART monitoring will notice if a test has failed and let you know by email, assuming you have email alerts working correctly.

I see no sign of trouble in your SMART attributes, and I don't understand why your pool won't import.

Can we see the output of zpool history Main6Array?

Currently running memtest. I'll do that after memtest runs for awhile and post the output.
