I'm totally newbie in freenas installation and screwed up the data on my first experiment with server with freenas.
The story is, we have a Dell MD1200 storage in our office which attached on Dell R710 server using FreeNAS-8.0.3-BETA1-amd64 (9056), the OS is inside a USB stick. The setup was done by other people back in 2012 so we dont know that it was installed on USB stick until recently.
Something happened and we decide to reinstall the host server (The R710) with windows server. We made new RAID on the R710 for the windows server installation usin BIOS (Dell PERC 700) but we leave the poool untouched, we still can see the pool and RAID configuration in BIOS. In windows,after we did the windows installation, we cant access the pool, the windows hard disk manager showed an unformatted drive with 29800 GB size (the pool size) but with 0% usage. After that we realize that the freenas is on the USB stick, so we plugged in and boot from it again. We can still access the freenas through the ip and the web management console too. But the freenas cant recognize the pool, nor do automount, because the address where the pool sit before (mnt/bulk) is gone when we do ssh to it.
This is the hardware spec for the Dell MD1200 from the freenas web management page
System Information
Hostname FreeNAS.pustekdata.lapan.go.id

And this is the output from "zpool status" and "zpool import"
[root@FreeNAS] ~# zpool status
no pools available
[root@FreeNAS] ~# zpool import
pool: bulk

action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.

I'm sorry if my story is too long and confusing, but the data inside is very important so we very desperate and we hope we still able to get it back.
Please ask me further question if there is something you need to know in order to get the data back. Any help is appreciate... thanks in advance
