Recovery... Tried to move to ZFS

Featured Replies

I was attempting to move my array to ZFS. Initially, this went well.
I put in a new drive and replicated my data to the new single-drive ZFS pool with unbalance. Everything worked great. Added a 2nd drive with no issues. Ran this for a day as a sanity check with a 3rd drive on the side to be added when I felt comfortable with the changes.

When I added the 3rd to the zpool the array would not start. That's when I learned you can't go from mirrored to raidz1.... I tried to create a new pool since the array would not start. Now all the drives show as unmountable. Please help. Hopefully I did not nuke all of my data...

Tried adding in a 2nd new drive that I can safely format but the drive is DOA.

So current state:

Unraid Version: 7.2
Cache pool of 2 drives. Still ok
3 Unmountable drives formatted to ZFS
1 is blank 2 should still contain data.

I have been working on this and I think I am pretty close. zpool import did have two pools that were causing issues. I deleted one that was invalid. Recovered the other. But now I am a bit stuck.

The GUI says "unmountable: wrong or no file system". But I can mount the pool in the CLI just fine and see all of the data.

For the main pool, try this:

First, it must be exported: zpool export main

Then with the array stopped, go to Main and click on the first device for that pool and then "remove pool"

back on main, create a new pool with the same name and number of slots

assign the pool devices, leave the filesystem set to auto

start the array to import the pool and post new diags if it fails.
