Middleware Error when importing encrypted ZFS Volume

[Legendarymarvin]

Made a new install for FreeNas 11 on a new medium (old one is still there and working, so I can always access my data via booting it up, but I'd like to change to the new one).

I have three encrypted ZFS Volumes, when I try to import them I get a Middleware Error. It happens after Step 3 of 3, after selecting the volume in the dropdown menu.

Also it says Decrypt Disks in the tool, does it seriously decrypt my whole volume? Does that mean I have decrypted Data after it and have to re-encrypt it if I want it encrypted? Not to mention that in-place decryption would take several days, have about 15TB data on my NAS. If that's the case I'm seriously considering just not doing it.

MiddlewareError: b'The volume "freenas-boot

I think you're trying to import the wrong volume. What's your hardware? what's your pool made of and how? Do you have your key?

Hello hugovsky,

yes, was my fault. I didn't realize you could select several disks in that interface, makes sense though. I just selected one disk of the volume and tried it with everyone of the volume. After selecting all three of them it worked. Thanks!

 

[hugovsky]

No problem. Glad I helped. ;)

 

[Ericloewe]

That needs some more user-friendly messaging, though, so please file a bug report.

I've encountered the same issue on FreeNAS-11.0-U2 (e417d8aa5) where I detached an encrypted volume (a single usb backup hdd). When I try to import the volume via the GUI, it responds with the middleware error as above at step 3 of 3. The volume is getting unlocked and mounted correctly in the background and I can use it, but it doesn't show up in the GUI. Tried that export > restart > import methot, but nothing works.

Here's what it shows as a response:

The pool status is ok, nothing problematic there.

What gives?

 

[Stux]

is that "b" meant to be there? Is it a typo in the code?

Exception Value: [MiddlewareError: b'The volume "ext-backup1" failed to import, for futher details check pool status']

Good question. It seems to affect my second encrypted pool (ext-backup1) and not my first encrypted pool. Here's the process after restarting my server:
- Login to the web GUI and choose Storage->Volumes.
- Only the "storage1" encrypted pool is showing and is marked as LOCKED. "ext-backup1" is NOT showing.
- I click on the Unlock button and is asked for Passphrase and a recovery key file. I only supply the passphrase and hit OK.
- The pool is successfully unlocked and everything is fine there.
- Then, when I click on the Import Volume button, a similar dialog box like the Unlock one, only a bit different layout, I have to supply ONLY the recovery key to be able to proceed. If I supply both passphrase and recovery key, I get "The following disks failed to attach: gptid/9966263e-..."
- Supplied only the recovery key and the volume is showing up. I then hit OK.
- Then what happens, is that Middleware error as described above. The GUI is not updated to reflect the changes. If I open a shell and type 'zpool list' it shows up. Everything is, like said, absolutely fine in the background.

Could it be that the GUI simply doesn't cope with the presence of multiple encrypted pools?
