ZFS filesystem version 6 ZFS storage pool version 6 Platform - 0.7RC1 (revision 4735) // FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p1 (revision 199506) // i386-embedded on AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1500+ Drives - 250GB & 150GB IDE // ZFS Raid Stripe Am aware this is not OpenSolaris but looking for the ZFS expertise. Thanks. [b]Completely [/b]new to FreeNAS/ZFS/FreeBSD but pleased & impressed so far (after years with Windows .......) I was forced (for other reasons not to do with this post) to do Reset to Factory Defaults which successfully allowed me to run FreeNAS again. In doing so, I have "lost" my ZFS pool and all the data therein. On restarting, Via the GUI, I redefined the drives - [i]Disks/Management/+/Preformatted File System chose ZFS storage pool device[/i]. Recreated the pool via [i]Disks/ZFS/Virtual Devic[/i]e and [i]Disks/ZFS/Pools[/i]. I was clearly mistaken in the belief that the drives would be recognized as pre-existing ZFS pool devices. So far, after [i]zpool import[/i] I can get the pool-id. After [i]zpool import -f pool-id [/i]I get poolName but the zpool list shows this as empty (0% used).Clearly my redefining of drives and pool after reset has re-initialised drives (but not formatted them) so I assume the data is still there. Is there any way I can recover the "original" pool and underlying data? Thanks for any help on this. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
