About an hour ago, I swapped my old motherboard for an ASRock c2750d4i. After doing so, and reassembling my case, I booted up FreeNAS and was seeing an error about my ZRAID2 pool being "locked". The only visible drive was my L2ARC SSD.
I followed the suggestion here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/wrong-key-for-gptid-failed-to-geli-attach.13574/ but didn't realize the reason it was locked was that I had plugged in the SATA cables to the wrong side of the SCSI adapters in my DS308 case, so none of the HDDs were connected to the Motherboard.
Unfortunately, I forgot my geli passphrase and can't find the note I wrote it on.
The good news is I downloaded the geli key right before dismounting, and I have a <hostname.FreeNas-<version>...db file from about a week ago.
My question is this: If I restore that DB file, will I regain access to my volume since it was mounted at the time of the backup? Failing that, is there a way to brute force the passphrase in combination with my geli key? I'm guessing data recovery on a USB stick is not a real option here...
Thanks for the help!
