Can’t Mount Drive – Solved:
Problem: Installed freenas, and created UFS Volume with 3 250 G Drives. After power outage, one of my data drives failed. System would reboot, but volume was not available. Could not mount volume. Could not create new volume. Volume would disappear after reboot.

Tried Fixes:
Per Thread, “FAQ - Those same questions that keep getting Asked & Answered about FreeNAS 8”, and others like it, I tried to “zero out “ the data drives using the following CLI commands :
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada1 bs=512 count=2
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada1 bs=512 skip=sectors
OR
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada1 bs=512 count=2
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada1 bs=512 seek=sectors
Result looked good in both cases. The “seek” syntax took a very very long time, completed successfully, but ultimately did not produce a fix.
Final Fix:
Created bootable copy of Gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/. Removed FreeNas USB drive and booted to GParted USB Drive. Created new Gpart partitions on all three drives ada0, ada1, and ada2. Removed GParted USB Drive, installed and booted to FreeNas USB. Dmesg was clean, and was able to create new volume using all the drives.
