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:

error_freenas.jpg


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!

Hi Openpulse,

Just a couple of quick notes. This topic has been discussed here in the forums a few times, the error is usually caused by the FreeNAS database being out of sync with what the system has detected. Take a look and see if you can find those discussions.

Second, the geometry errors below are NORMAL, nothing to worry about. If you'll notice the "da3s1" & "da3s2", these are partitions on your Flash drive. If you look at the next messages you posted below that from dmesg, you'll notice your harddrives are "ada0" & "ada1".

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).


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

Hi Protosd, thanks for your reply! I saved my existing configuration and grabbed the latest stable release: FreeNAS-8.0.3-RELEASE-p1-x86.Full_Install
Wrote it on the SD card, booted it up and reloaded my backup config file, rebooted one more time and now I'm back up and running!
