Re setting up freenas

[Devilstompa]

Hello. I started up freenas and accidentally erased my settings for everything so I have to reset it all up again. All the files on the drives are fine. I just have to import pool but I only see import disc or volume under storage.

Give system details.
If you have version 11.1, a storage pool is called a volume:

If you have version 11,2, a storage pool is called a pool:

We have a more difficult time offering help when you don't give background on the problem.

Does that also keep it in raid cause I only imported one volume

In versions before FreeNAS 11.2, volume was the term they used for pool.

Disks are disks, pools are volumes, pools can be made of one (or more) vdevs, vdevs can be mirror or some level of RAIDz(1, 2, 3).

This discussion would be much better if you would include the information directed in the Forum Guidelines that you have already been linked to.

It might also help if you reviewed the documentation:
