And then remember... RAID is backup. Backup your important stuff somewhere other than your NAS.

I'm sure you meant to say "RAID is NOT backup"!

Hope you get your data back gdcmjb.

Correct. Edited.

Ok, I got one more idea left.

Boot FreeBSD 9.1, on the boot loader choose prompt (option 6 IIRC)

type:

set vfs.zfs.recover=1 <enter>
boot <enter>

Once the OS boots, enter this in the shell:
zpool import -F -f -o readonly=on POOLNAME

If you're lucky this will at least give you RO access to the pool.

I can't see the option 6 IIRC, I got

Code:

Welcome to FreeBSD
1. Boot [Enter]
2. [Esclape to loader prompt]
3. Reboot

Options:
4. [A]CPI Support On
5. Safe [M]ode Off
6. ingle User off
7. [V]erbose off

So I tried

Code:

2. [Esclape to loader prompt]

And type

Code:

set vfs.zfs.recover=1 <enter>
boot <enter>

Than this is what I get

Code:

zpool import -F -f -o readonly=on GDNAS-01
Pool GDNAS-01 returned to its state as of Wed Sep 26 10:34:39 2012.
cannot mount '/GDNAS-01': failed to create mountpoint

If I try a complete re-install of freenas disconnecting raid hdds, will I losse my data or will I be able to restore them after re-connecting them?

 

[gdcmjb]

I tried an upgrade of freenas with succeed but still the same error :(

 

[gdcmjb]

I tried to load freenas by disconnecting raid hdd to check what u told me

Do you have autotune enabled? (System->Advanced)
Do you have tunables? (System->Tunables)

And it doesn't work, I got the Console setup menu displaying on a loop and cannot acces web interface

This worked! You can have you data back!
Just use this command instead:

zpool import -F -f -o readonly=on -R /mnt GDNAS-01

It will be in /mnt/GDNAS-01

What OS are you running? FreeBSD 9? Live USB?

Just make sure you can write to /mnt, or try using /tmp instead.

Yes it must be that, I'm running it on live cd so its not writable... I'll try... Maybe the end...

Thx

YES !!! Wiliam, you're the best ! THX !

I can see and browse my files !

So I'm trying now to copy the datas to an external usb drive but, I don't know how to do it... I checked /var/run/dmesg.boot and my external drive seems to be 'da0', than I found how to copy files 'cp -iprv origin destination' but what must I enter for the destination ?
I tried 'mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt', 'mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt', 'mount -t ufs /dev/da0s1 /mnt' but I got drive is busy

DIT : OK, I think I've found, it's copying right now, we'll see...

 

[gdcmjb]

Allright, I've found a best solution, ssh !

I'm recovering all my datas!

thank you so much William !!!

 

[William Grzybowski]

Cool, nice to hear that.
You're welcome.
