March 28Mar 28 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: 7.2Cache pool of 2 drives. Still ok3 Unmountable drives formatted to ZFS1 is blank 2 should still contain data. Edited March 28Mar 28 by aasberry
March 28Mar 28 Author 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.root@OneForAll:~# zfs listNAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINTmain 2.54T 993G 388K /mnt/mainmain/Backups 7.79G 993G 7.38M /mnt/main/Backupsmain/Backups/appdatabackup 6.82G 993G 6.82G /mnt/main/Backups/appdatabackupmain/Backups/flashdrive backup 992M 993G 992M /mnt/main/Backups/flashdrive backupmain/Backups/libvirt backup 480K 993G 480K /mnt/main/Backups/libvirt backupmain/CommunityApplicationsAppdataBackup 2.38G 993G 2.38G /mnt/main/CommunityApplicationsAppdataBackupmain/Downloads 152K 993G 152K /mnt/main/Downloadsmain/Home 3.64G 993G 3.64G /mnt/main/Homemain/Media 2.29T 993G 18.2G /mnt/main/Mediamain/Media/Books 155G 993G 155G /mnt/main/Media/Booksmain/Media/Movies 1.24T 993G 1.24T /mnt/main/Media/Moviesmain/Media/Music 120K 993G 120K /mnt/main/Media/Musicmain/Media/Pictures 4.72G 993G 4.72G /mnt/main/Media/Picturesmain/Media/TV Shows 102G 993G 102G /mnt/main/Media/TV Showsmain/Media/audiobooks 801G 993G 801G /mnt/main/Media/audiobooksmain/NextCloud 241G 993G 241G /mnt/main/NextCloudmain/Software Repository 1.54G 993G 1.54G /mnt/main/Software Repositorymain/isos 144K 993G 144K /mnt/main/isosroot@OneForAll:~# zpool status main pool: main state: ONLINE scan: resilvered 2.55T in 05:31:25 with 0 errors on Sat Mar 28 13:45:24 2026config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM main ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-ST4000VN008-2DR166_ZGY6TQ7V ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-WDC_WD40EFPX-68C6CN0_WD-WX12DA5AYFL5 ONLINE 0 0 0errors: No known data errors

March 29Mar 29 Community Expert For the main pool, try this:First, it must be exported: zpool export mainThen 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 slotsassign the pool devices, leave the filesystem set to autostart the array to import the pool and post new diags if it fails.
