Lost Data in Upgrade to 11.2

Tried to update via the GUI yesterday from 11-STABLE to 11.2-STABLE and something with the boot drive failed. Long story short I then installed 11.2 on a new drive, booted up to that, imported the old volumes, saw there was no share, added a SMB share to one of the data sets and then saw that it was entirely empty. The volumes imported and show all the right disks, names, and datasets, but there are no files in any of them. Help? One curious thing I noticed in the zpool history is that the lines changes from zpool..... to zfs...

zpool history:
2018-11-24.15:36:14 zpool import -c /data/zfs/zpool.cache.saved -o cachefile=none -R /mnt -f 11047663621338030762
2018-11-24.15:36:14 zpool set cachefile=/data/zfs/zpool.cache MediaVolume

For now i dont have solution...so i think data is lost...i'm just waiting expert here to confirm that....
Very bad for FreeNAS....I am very disappointed
3 years maybe 4 years i use it....from 9 versions...

For updating to an RC with no tested plan to back out? That's on you, Not iX. ix-systems does a lot of stupid things with FreeNAS/TrueNAS but making you update to non-stable software is not one of them.

Have any of you tried reverting to your old boot environment? What do each of you see with zpool status zpool list -v and zpool import? If you see your pool, what does zfs list show?

Do you plan to make backups going forward now?

If you can see your pool in any of the pool commands, your data is probably still there. If you can see your data sets with zfs list, check if there mounting as they should be with zfs mount.

This flew under my radar but may be the third similar case I hear about.

To confirm that, please run zfs list and see if the used values line up with how much data you used to have or if they're way down to ridiculously low values.

Hi,

with zfs list ... used value is ridiculously low values....

Do you think data is lost ?

I hate to say it, but I appear to be in the same situation. Updated the other night via the GUI to 11.2 STABLE from 11.1-U1 STABLE, and several of my larger datasets are now empty.

zfs list also shows sub gig levels of usage for said datasets. Booting back to 11.1 doesn't make anything reappear either.

I should have made a snapshot, or exported the pool before the update, I know, but as 11.2 has been out for a bit, I figured that it would be 'safe'.

If there is a way to recover it, that would be awesome sauce.

Hardware:
Supermicro X(SCL+-F
Xeon E3 1230
16 gig ECC
LSI SAS2008 card, non-rebadged

Are your logs intact? Does every file in /var/log magically start right after the update?

Also, can you tell us anything about your system? When and on what software was the pool created, what kind of services you run, etc. We really have very little to go on at the moment.

Do you mean from 11.1 to 11.2?

I updated from 11.1 U6 to 11.2 and had a similar case.

Looks like we have very different hardware specs.

What kind of services were you running? I had a jail running Syncthing and a SMB share.

What's the output of zfs list on your system? Did you previously have snapshots of the data you're missing?

I did have snapshots and they got deleted as well. I don't have access to the machine at the moment, but I do recall zfs list showing the expected output for names, ie the zpool plus a half dozen or so first directories (or "datasets"?) of the pool. It had my data folder, syncthing folder, home folder, and maybe a few other things, if that makes sense. However, the usage was around 760 MiB when it should have been closer to 4 TiB.

By the way, I think I spoke with you on mumble and IRC last night and I have been updating the bug report with as much info as I can. I will upload more logs when I get the chance in the off chance somebody finds something fishy. I really wish I knew what the hell went wrong.

Big_Papi_Knows:
My issue sounds almost exactly like yours. Did you have a boot error with something along the lines of missing /boot/kernel/kernel after updating 11.1 U6 to 11.2 on the UI? Did you then re-install the boot device with external media? What jails and services were you running?

See my bug report here and upload what logs you can: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/64512

Oh, I didn't notice it was you. Are you absolutely sure about the snapshots? The zpool history didn't have any deletions.

If our working theory is right, a snapshot would not have been touched, so your data would be trivially recoverable. In your case, it was really gone - so, if you did have snapshots before, it would mean that the problem is more convoluted than we'd thought.
