HDD back from recovery service, can't figure out how to re-add it or import the data

[dealy663]

Hi

I have a single disk that was held in its own pool without mirroring, the disk began to throw errors. I sent it in to seagate for warranty recovery and replacement. I have the disk back now, but can't seem to get anything off of it, Seagate says that they were able to recover my drive's data. TrueNas doesn't recognize it as a previously mounted disk. So far it seems my only options are to use it to create a new pool. Everything I've tried seems like it is going to wipe out the disk. The original pool that the disk belonged to is still on my system, just in an offline state.

I tried plugging the disk into another system, but that system reports the partition as being unknown, so I can't just copy the data off of the recovered drive and move it somewhere else. Is there some suggested way to bring my disk back online without loosing the (hopefully) recovered data?

Thanks, Derek

Don't panic just yet. It could be that the pool is just unwilling to mount because it was active at the time it dropped offline, or something like that. Someone with the Linux-fu will likely be along shortly to help identify if the disk is still partitioned correctly. I'm a BSD guy so I'm not the right guy for this particular job.
