May 24, 20251 yr So to try and fix some unrelated issue, I did a full reset of my BIOS and after reboot, Unraid seams to have forgotten my disk assignment. My setup is pretty simple, so this might help my case. I have a total of 5 drives, with 2 identical NVMEs making the first ZFS pool (a mirror) and 3 identical HDDs making the second ZFS pool (a raidz1). All drive are seen by the OS and selectable in the drive assignment field. The 2 pools have kept their name but when I click on them, it looks like all their settings are set to defaults as if I had just created them and not configures them yet. I do not have any screenshots of my previous config or any backup of my USB key. (that will teach me..)I have not mounted anything yet as I'm scared I will lose data.Tried a few things with ChatGPT but it was unsuccessful making sure my sata controller was set to AHCI (it already was) "zpool import" returns "no pools available to import" looking at my /config/super.dat the was only a little bit of unreadable gibberishIf someone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated, as I really don't want to lose any data.

The order of the 3 drives doesn't matter for the raidz1 pool?
