Hi, I am new to the forum, but have been using FreeNAS for some time. However, my level of expertise is just a passionate amateur so I am generally only working with the GUI. My system is purpose built for FreeNAS with 16GB ECC ram, Xeon E3-1231, and 4 X 3TB WD Red drives. I had been running as a stripped mirrors for 6GB usable. Everything running well. I upgraded from 9.2 to 9.3 and everything was working. I then allowed the automatic update to install new packages and I had an error on reboot and the system wouldn't come up. I was able to see the console, so I chose to reset to factory defaults. I thought I would then re-import my ZFS pool and be back on track.
After the reset, the system came back up. I went to re-import, but on step 2 where it wants you to choose a volume, there were no entries. There is a moment of panic for you. So I opened a shell and:
UberServer is my previous volume. So it appears that it is still on my disks and healthy, but FreeNAS doesn't seem to recognize. Is there a way to manually force it to import?
Sorry, I know this is likely a dumb move on my part, I should have tried something else before doing a reset. However, I have imported volumes before without issue.
Thanks for your help.
