Unable to mount volume

[Kendy Kong]

Hi,
I'm new to this and I've looked around and I don't see this exact problem on the Forum. I just installed FreeNAS 9.1 on a pentium 4 machine, it was sucessful; I can see 2 hd (ada0 & ada1) but when I tried mounting them, I don't see any hd on the pulldown list when I was using the zfs volume manager or import volume, can anyone walk me through this? What did I miss?

Greatly appreciated!

What filesystem are the disks currently formatted with?

Thanks for the kind support. I've figured it out myself, I believe I was too new to this whole FreeNAS thing. After fiddling with the system a little bit, I have a better understanding of how this is going to work. I am now able to see the volumes.
Thanks,

I have the EXACT same issue.

What filesystem are the disks currently formatted with?

My disks were two new 3TB disks (WD30EZRX), unformatted, not even initialized. I was unable to use them to create a new ZFS volume, but I did see them in the disk overview.
I then tried initializing them on a Windows Server 2003 R2 VM (MBR), which worked, and then I converted them both to GPT (also without issues).
They still don't show up in the ZFS volume manager however. I also tried mounting them, which returns an error. I'm also not able to "gpart show" the disks, even though I think that should work. It does work on the primary drive (OS disk).

Code:

[root@FreeNAS] /dev# gpart show da1
gpart: No such geom: da1.
[root@FreeNAS] /dev# gpart show da2
gpart: No such geom: da2.
[root@FreeNAS] /dev# mkdir /mnt/tmp
[root@FreeNAS] /dev# mount /dev/da1 /mnt/tmp
mount: /dev/da1: Device not configured
[root@FreeNAS] /dev# mount /dev/da2 /mnt/tmp
mount: /dev/da2: Device not configured
[root@FreeNAS] /dev# gpart show da0
=>      63  10485697  da0  MBR  (5.0G)
        63  1930257    1  freebsd  [active]  (942M)

What is the output of "camcontrol devlist" ?

What is the output of "camcontrol devlist" ?

Code:

[root@FreeNAS] /# camcontrol devlist
<VMware Virtual disk 1.0>          at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)
<ATA WDC WD30EZRX-00D 80.0>        at scbus2 target 1 lun 0 (da1,pass1)
<ATA WDC WD30EZRX-00D 80.0>        at scbus2 target 2 lun 0 (da2,pass2)

Does this help?

I got a good chuckle out of seeing that one myself.
