When migrating from one FreeNAS8 box to another FreeNAS8 box our customer accidentally typed the wrong command and really broke the ZFS pool...
Can anyone help please? I don't know if I'm allowed to offer in this forum but I am more than willing to pay anyone for their time!
Thank you all in advance.
- Original configuration: FreeNAS server with zfs pool ‘filestore’ configured as a raid1 mirror. Both disks operational and pool healthy.
- Shutdown server
- Removed Disk A and placed in new chassis, imported ZFS pool successfully, pool showing degraded but data accessible.
- Placed Disk B in new chassis, zfs did not recognize this disk as part of the pool, issued ‘zpool add -f filestore /dev/ada0’ command. I now realize this was not what I wanted, I wanted to issue a zpool attach command.
- This resulted in Disk B being added to the pool as a striped disk, the pool size increased from 2.7TB to 5.2TB, pool showing as degraded but data still accessible.
- Server is rebooted
- Pool is missing
