zfs discuss - Aug 2012 - Help! OS drive lost, can I recover data?

Hi All,

Bit of a newbie here, in desperate need of help.

I had a fileserver based on FreeNAS/ZFS - 4 SATA drives in RaidZ, with the
OS on a USB stick (actually, a spare MicroSD card in a USB adapter).
Yesterday we had a power outage - that seems to have fried the MicroSD card.
The other disks *appear* to be OK (although I''ve done nothing much to
check
them yet - they''re being recognised on boot), but the OS is gone - the
MicroSD is completely unreadable. I think I was using FreeNAS 0.7 - I
honestly can''t remember.

Can I recover the data? Can anyone talk me through the process?

Thanks - Adam...

If your data-disks are OK, then do not worry. Just reinstall your OS and
import the data-pool.

Thanks.
