As the subject said that How to use the perviously created shares & volume in case that your freenas crash and you install the new one?
Here is my scenario:
10 gb dedicated hdd on which i installed the freenas 8.
4x 250gb hdd that I used for data and i configured them like this:
Created volume with the name: vol (zfs and raid-z), under this volume then i created 3 dataset (books, movies, software).
my freenas crashed, then i installed the freenas again on my 10 gb hdd, but how i can mount this volume and dataset that I previously created?
thanks in advance!
Here is the sample configuration, that i did, may be it can help you to understand my problem!
NOTE: May be that's the answer of my question, but i don't know, how to do it.....please tell me if somebody know about it?
If my hardware/motherboard dies, can I rebuild with new/different hardware and still import/read the data from my disks? What about my datasets?
YES, as long as you aren't using hardware RAID and let ZFS handle the RAID; If this is a PLANNED, such as replacing your disk controller, EXPORT your Pool(s) from the GUI first. Datasets are basically a folder/directory that lives on your volume with your other files, but have a separate mountpoint, such as /mnt/your-pool/dataset_1. They must be exported as a separate filesystem when sharing them with NFS.
