My situation is as follows:
I have a server that previously was containing 4 x 2TB drives in a raidZ1 vdev with encryption enabled.
I then added an additional 4x 2TB drives that I added as a vdev with the same name using the GUI, thinking it would expand the existing partition without issues.
After a quick reboot I now can't re-mount the volume at all, it's name was Volume1 and even though I enter the correct passphrase and load the encryption key (or recovery key) it just gives an error msg similar to "The following disks failed to attach: gptid:blahblahblah"
My question is this: When adding a vdev to an encrypted pool, does the passphrase/key need to be updated in some way that the user is not notified of? Because I just lost about 5TB of data. My fault entirely, I know, but I've come to rely on Freenas so much that I thought at simple vdev add shouldn't destroy my data without warning me at least...
Can anybody at least shed some light on what I did wrong so that I know what not to do in future attempts at using this software, or should I go on trying to make a full Openindiana build work to get what I want?
I kinda figured since Freenas used to nofify you of every step that was desctructive to your data it would do the same when encryption was added, but apparently not(or I made a huge boo-boo, not exactly a shocker).
