How to import previous data

[Denied]

Hi

I've reinstalled Freenas on a new USB and am trying to retrieve data that was on there. I didn't try to configure anything else yet.

I went to auto import and it imported /mnt/Storage
Underneath it says: /mnt/Storage/.system (x3)

Where do I go from here to make sure my data's still there? Please advise.

Did you look to see if you data is there in /mnt/Storage?
It sounds like your pool imported just fine.

The ".system" dataset is there for logs, stats, cache, etc.

Since you didn't save a copy of your configuration file, you'll need to reconfigure it again. Assuming you were using CIFS, you'll need to set it up again and enable it.

One way to view the contents of your data would be to go to the shell. You can get to it serveral ways, the easiest would be either from the webgui or from the console menu on the server. ls - l lists the contents of the directory.

From the prompt, type:

cd /mnt/Storage

ls -l

See what's displayed. If you want to drill down into another directory, cd into it. For example, if you saw a directory named - gpsguy, the command would be:

cd gpsguy

ls -l

exit (when your all done).

Yep, looking through the shell it's still there. Now I just need to remember how I set it up before. Thanks.

Sorry to be a nuisance.

I've set up a username. I created a CIF sharing account called media. Now when I access my media folder, on my Freenas box it constantly says matchname failed. Is this anything to be worried about?

You might want to review the manual to ensure that you configured CIFS correctly.

Make sure you enabled the service. You may need to restart your server after enabling the service.

I changed some permissions and changed acl to Windows rather than UNIX. Seems to have helped. Cheers mate.
