I recently wasn't able to connect to my FreeNAS, so I borrowed a monitor from work to see what the problem was. I found an error that turned out to be an issue with one of my 2 drives. In trying to find out what the problem was, I did a clean install of FreeNAS on the USB drive. Eventually, I was able to get it booted up, but only using 1 of the 2 drives. When I went to the GUI, it made me set up a new share. For some reason, I can connect to the drive, but not the old folders. When I use the GUI, I can see the old folder structure and their sizes, so I know the information is still available. I am looking for a way to get to the old folders and temporarily transfer the files to an external drive, so I can get 2 new drives for the NAS.

Thank you for any help you are able to give.

Attached is a pic of the error I was getting. When I looked into it, I found that was possibly a connection issue to one of my drives. I attempted to start up with each drive in alone and with no drive in, but nothing worked. I installed a new copy of FreeNAS and tried again. I found that I could boot up with one of the drives, but the GUI made me go through the setup wizard and create a new share. I can see the new and old share in the GUI, but I can't access the old share from my computer. I want to get my files off, so I can start over with 2 new drives.

anodos,

I am at work right now, so I will do this when I get home. Just to be safe and speed this thread up, can you give me a quick overview of how to output the 'zfs list' and 'zpool status'?

Also, I just tried to connect to the drive and it came up with "Select the volumes you want to mount on '192.168.1.70':". It gives me the choice of homes and root, but neither will connect.
