Hello everyone,
my USB drive (Transcent Jet Flash 700 with 32GB) is "degraded". Therefore, I wanted to replace it. From what I have read I should install FreeNAS on a new USB drive and upload my old configuration file which I have saved before. I have downloaded the geli.key and the geli recovery key.
Everything is fine up to the point where I want to unlock my encrypted drive after new installation. It fails with an error message. On the command line, it tells me something like "zpool with ID XXX not found".
At this point I booted the USB drive and clicked in boot environments to "replace" respectively to "attach" a new drive I bought. This fails, too, because "operation not permitted".
Somewhere else here in the forum, someone suggested the problem is the encryption. I am okay with removing it.
To the system:
Dell T20
4*4GB ECC RAM
4*4TB of different drive types
FreeNAS 11.2-U5
One drive has 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors which is why I would also buy a new drive (probably the 4TB WD RED).
If you need more information or the exact error messages, please don't hesitate to ask :)
Thank you in advance for your help!
