HOW TO REMOUNT A REPLACED HARD DISK

[lexmills09]

LAST MONTH, I HAVE REPLACED MY 2 TB NAS DRIVE INTO 4TB, NOW I WANT TO REMOUNT MY 2TB TO RECOVER SOME IMPORTANT FILES. HOW TO REMOUNT IT TO NEW TRUENAS TO GET THE FILES THAT I NEEDED? CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

How was your old pool constructed before the replacement?

 

[lexmills09]

I HAVE A MIRROR POOL. I ONLY REPLACED THE 2TB WITH 4TB HDD

I think the simplest option is to mount your disk on a different system from your TrueNAS server, and then retrieve your files there. Ubuntu 20.04 has native support for OpenZFS 2.0, and you should be able to import your pool there via zpool import -f -R /mnt <name of your pool>.

 

[lexmills09]

I already did that, and nothing happens

 

[Samuel Tai]

Did you look in /mnt to see if the pool mounted? What does zpool status show?

 

[lexmills09]

zpool status only shows the SSD, no 2TB hdd

 

[sretalla]

what about the output from zpool import
