I/O Error when importing pools

[fgarren]

Hey everyone! I set up a TrueNAS system on an old Lenovo Ideapad 330 that I had in a closet. 2 days ago, it would hang when booting after I tried transferring files. I've reinstalled TrueNAS and it boots fine, but importing the pool that was on it before I reinstalled has become a problem. When all the drives are plugged in, it doesn't recognize the pool. When I have only one drive plugged in, it will let me attempt to import before giving me the ('I/O error',) message. In more details is the following:

Error: concurrent.futures.process._RemoteTraceback:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I am experiencing the same issue. Has anyone found a solution yet?

 

[zsw12abc]

having the same issue on my TrueNas Scale.
no solution yet. I found one video which suggest us to use

Code:

zpool import -fFX <poolname>

But it is still running for almost 3 days for my 2TB * 4 HHD.
