Having a hard time importing ZFS pool previously linked to nas4free

[donsev]

Hello,

I've finally upgraded my hardware to the recommended level so figured I would test out FreeNAS. After installing version 9 I was able to boot up, change IP, setup network settings, etc, however I can't seem to import my ZFS pool. To be precise, it imports the pool but then gives an error that it can't figure out how much space is on it. I can still access the files on the pool through command, but so far haven't been able to make the shares available on the network. My numbers:

• Freenas: 9.10.2-U1
• Boot: 32gb USB drive
• CPU: i3-4330
• Motherboard: Supermicro X10SL7-F
• RAM: Crucial 2x8GB DDR3-1866 ECC UDIMM
• Storage: ZFS Pool (3x2TB hard drives), does not include 1TB (with nas4free 11.0.0.4 OS) and a new 2TB NAS hard drive (brand new)

Sidequestion: is there a built in file browser in the GUI, similar to nas4free's file browser? Somewhere I can create folders, manage permissions, etc. without using command window?

That's usually a bad sign. You might need to backup your data and rebuild the pool.

haven't been able to make the shares available

FreeNAS doesn't have any idea how your shares were set up in NAS4FREE.

is there a built in file browser in the GUI

No.

No.

Hm, I guess I will begin a backup just incase a reformat is in order.

Sorry, I'll keep that in mind when I post in the future.
