Hi, I am having trouble recovering my data after both a drive and the FreeNAS usb failed.
My build is 4 Western digital 3GB drives in raid 5. So just over 6 gb of storage. One of the drives failed but that's fine it's happened before and I've successfully replace it. (I erroneously used WD greens when I first started but have started to replace with reds). Unfortunately whilst I was waiting to replace it the FreeNAS USB was damaged. So I recently redid a USB with FreeNAS 11 and tried to recover the volume.
The problem: when I hot swapped the drive out.. FreeNAS would not detect the volume and doesn't show any import options (zpool status).. When I put the old faulty drive back It sees the volume but when I run
Would really really appreciate some advice on how to proceed? I've got some family photo's and personal music I've created that will be totally lost if I cant recover this.

zpool import
it just takes a long time and doesn't do anything ?Would really really appreciate some advice on how to proceed? I've got some family photo's and personal music I've created that will be totally lost if I cant recover this.
