I had a raidz1 pool with 6 x 1tb disks on a Freenas 8.3.0 box till recently that I made a series of mistakes I think and cannot import it...
After a disk failure I physically replaced the disk but accidentally instead of replacing I simply added it to the pool thus resulting in a 'not recommended' situation with my pool consisting of a stripe set of a "degraded" raidz vdev and a single disk...
The real problem though came in when the single disk also failed and I can no longer import the pool... The error is the "One or more devices are missing from the system."
Since I have not written any new data on the pool after the "replacement" is there any way that I could extract the data from the "degraded" raidz vdev? Can we somehow bypass the missing top level vdev or is there any advanced way to import/recover the pool...?
Just for the record when I executed zdb I saw that the labels are missing on all of the disks of the pool but it seems that all the other info is there (apart from the failed single disk)...
Thanks in advance.
