My FreeNAS 9.3 was running fine on an 64bit, booting from an internal USB drive with three HDDs @ 500Gb each (= 1Tb storage). Now, I get this on boot (see attached pic). What do I do now? Did I lose a HDD or is the USB drive messed up? Which device is da0? If I am to boot from a DVD to fix the USB drive, which one do I use (the installer does not seem to be the right choice)? Your help would be greatly appreciated. I can do the work, but I need someone to just point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Boot device is probably toast. Reinstall FreeNAS to new media and restore your config.

Thank you very much. That was it. I got a new USB and created a bootable with 9.3 STABLE.

Now, if I can just figure out how to reattach my disks in the configuration that I had working (three HDDs @ 500Gb each = 1Tb storage). I had changed the HDD config since my last config save. It sees the disks, even the volume, but it is not configured correctly. Argh. Really didn't want to lose that data...

Thanks again,

Import the pool.

If it was encrypted and you did not keep backups of the keys and passphrases, consider the pool lost.

Thanks. Tried that, but cannot get this to work. All three drives are up:

...but I have something set wrong; no imports work.

I guess that is what you get when a noob sets it up. It sees the directories, but won't let me import. Nowhere does it refer to the volumes as ZDS. What am I doing wrong?

Your help is not expected, but would be appreciated.

Best,

Not import disk. Import pool - but it seems to be imported already.

What's the output of zpool status and zpool import?

 

[cldavis58]

Thanks for the help...

zpool import only gives me a short delay, then returns to the prompt...

Well, your pool is present, nothing wrong there.

You'll just have to reconfigure your shares and stuff. Data is all safely there. (Well, as safely as RAIDZ1 can store it, but that's a different topic).

That was it. The structure was there, but the way it was shared is all wonky. Noob stuff, you know...

I was able to CIFS share the driveset / zpool, assign a drive letter from my laptop and retrieve the data. I will dedicate some time to study up on how to set up the mount points and shares correctly.

Thanks a bunch for your help. I know how much noobs are a pain and I really appreciate it.

Now I am off to save my config (!) and move my USB back inside the case.

Thanks again,

CLD

Don't share the root dataset. Share sub-datasets only, for best results.

Other than that, play around a bit and use your best judgement on how to divide your pool into shares.
