I am Newer to FreeNAS so apologies if I miss something.
My current setup:
Dell Poweredge T130
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 v6 @ 3.50GHz
4- 6TB hard drives HGST DeskStar NAS 3.5" 6TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s High-Performance Hard Drive
OS Version: FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1
32 GiB Memory (4 - 8 GiB Memory sticks)
Embedded AHCI Controller
No Hardware RAID controller
Boot drive is one 32 GB Flash USB 3.0
RAIDZ2 Config
Here's my problem:
When I initally installed FreeNAS, I had trouble with my HDD's not being recognized. See the thread here: https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/help-freenas-hdd-issues.72327/#post-501076. My solution which worked was the last post in that thread from me.
Fast Forward three months, and now one of my HDD's went unrecognizable. I shut down my server to install 2 additional memory sticks (went from 2- 8Gib to 4-8 GiB). Upon restarting the server, I got a degraded status and noted that one HDD was now unrecognizable. BIOS still recognizes all 4 HDD's. I swapped out the HDD SATA cables and that didn't work either. I don't understand what the issue is. This appears to be an O/S issue and not a hardware issue. I've swapped the hard drives around and all HDD's are functional.
Here is my additional concern. If I start creating new pools and plugging stuff in, I don't want to lose the data I already have stored on the hard drive (about 1 TiB at this point).
Thanks in advance.
