Hello Everyone, I have been using FreeNAS 8.0-RELEASE for nearly a year, I had a modest desktop pc sitting around and decided to put it to good use.
I purchased two brand new WD 1.0 TB Drives and configured a raid 0 volume using UFS
The problem happened today when I turned on the server and was unable to access the Volume, that's when I went over to the Storage section of the GUI and found the following error:
I checked the messages file on /var/log and found:
freenas# cat messages | grep geometry
Feb 23 23:37:28 freenas kernel: GEOM: da3s1: geometry does not match label (16h,63s != 255h,63s).
Feb 23 23:37:28 freenas kernel: GEOM: da3s2: geometry does not match label (16h,63s != 255h,63s).
Note: Bios settings have not been changed in any way and the drives are detected properly by the OS.
here are the drives I have on the box:
freenas# dmesg |grep WD
ada0: <WDC WD10EARS-00MVWB0 51.0AB51> ATA-8 SATA 1.x device
ada1: <WDC WD10EARS-00MVWB0 51.0AB51> ATA-8 SATA 1.x device
Here's a screenshot of the system information tab:
I would like to know if I can still recover the Volumen in any way, I have considered the following options:
- Upgrading to the latest stable version of FreeNAS, if I do this, would I still be able to recover my UFS stripe?
- Rebuilding or Reindexing the Volume in any way (I'm going to need pointers for this one)
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated
Thanks guys!
