Disks not listed in GUI after failed upgrade, then fresh install and zpool import

[red192]

I was running version 11.1 on my old HP Proliant ML110 G5 (8gb ecc ram, zpool made from 4 WD 2Tb red drives, system on 2 samsung 32gb usb drives) -- when I decided to run the in place-upgrade to 11.2. That did not go so well -- the thing would no longer boot, so I did a fresh install of 11.2 and imported the zpool. It seemed to work -- but only two of the four WD drives are listed in the GUI.

Wondering if there is a setting to show all of them -- or if i did something else wrong. Below is zpool status.

Code:

This looks like a bug. Since it is a completely new UI, it is not shocking that there will be minor issues. You should submit this as a bug report so the developers can examine it and work on a correction.

I did not find it shocking that two of my disks were not listed in the brand new UI. Just wanted to see if I made a mistake. Any tips on submitting a bug report? I've never done that before. I will look around here ...

Go here to create an account:

https://redmine.ixsystems.com/projects/freenas

Then go in the GUI on FreeNAS to make the report:

https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.2/system.html#support

They are going to want as much information as they can get in an effort to ensure this doesn't continue to happen to others.

I posted the bug report and it seems that either the USB controller or one or more of my two 32 mb Kingston (not Samsung) USB drives was failing and causing the problems. I reinstalled FreeNas 11.2 to an SSD drive and then imported the pool and everything is working well so far. So it was not a bug after all ... but hard to tell because I did not know to look at the logs as well as the developers did.
