Hi, first of all, don't blame me for risking my data because the data is safely backed up.
I had a Truenas Scale installed on one SSD boot disk, it was fully functional, it had and LSI HBA (IT mode) and 3 x HDDs.
I've saved the config db and password. Recently the partition table of my boot SSD got corrupted somehow.
So on the same PC I installed Truenas Scale as a Proxmox VM and passed through the HBA to the new Truenas VM. The Disks menu lists correctly my 3 HDDs which are part of my pool. I'm doing this because I want to change from a physical to a virtualized Truenas installation.
I uploaded the saved config db, my password changed as before, and in the GUI the pool is there, but it's offline for some reason that I ignore.
This is for sure due to the HW change, although I though Truenas is using the disks SN not the linux sdx name...
zpool status only show the boot pool. I am pretty sure the 3 drives that are part of the pool are still pristine.
I don't how to display the status of an offline pool, to have more info about why it's offline. So I need help
- Is there a way I can rebuild the pool from the data stored on the drives?
- Or can I import a pool that wasn't exported, for instance because the server died, by using using zpool import -f
- Is there a solution here? In fact this is a Truenas boot disk failure recovery exercise. I shouldn't be the first one to have it.
