TL;DR It seems that after trying to remove a failed drive, the GPTID of one of my drives belonging to my Multimedia ZPool had it's GPTID changed and now is no longer detected when I try to import the volume. Skip to second post for the problem, read on for the details.
I have 4x3 TB (4 WD Greens) and 1x4 TB (HGST NAS Drive) in a RAIDZ2 array that stores all of my multimedia. About two or three days ago it started telling me this:
(/dev/ada0 is one of the green drives)
being unemployed and having no money I just ignored it.
When I woke up and attempted to watch some of my media nothing would load, I checked the interface and there were 3 messages: 1 about system upgrades, 1 about upgrading my Multimedia ZPool, and another one stating that my Multimedia ZPool was unavailable. I looked at the status of my Multimedia ZPool and it said 4 of the drives were in a RAIDZ2 array and one (the drive with the bad sector) was in a striped array. I went to go click on the "failed" drive in the striped array and hit replace and the only drive available was my 4 TB, so I clicked it but it said it couldn't replace it due to I/O being frozen.
So I shutdown and took the drive out, when I booted up it said that it couldn't find my Multimedia ZPool, the GUI said that there was an error and it couldn't determine the freespace. I decided to detach the volume (keeping the share info and data intact) and re-import it, but the volume wasn't there!
I rebooted and the volume still wasn't there to be imported, I noticed that my 4 TB wasn't attached (either my backplane in my case or the ports on my motherboard are goofy), so after reattaching it I hoped that it would now detect the volume, but it didn't. Even after a reboot.
I put all the drives back in and they're all detected by my system, but when I go to Import Volume there are no volumes to be imported! They're all listed under Import Disks but I don't know which filesystem to choose (I chose EXT2FS but it didn't seem to work) and also my mount point of Multimedia no longer exists.
How can I get back my 6 TB worth of data?!
