Please Help - ZFS status is UNKNOWN after failed update

[vvhiteknight]

Hi, I tried to update my freenas system from 9.2.0 to 9.2.15 and the update failed for some reason. Now I am unable to see the CFS shares on the network and when I log onto the NAS i get the following errors

• 
  
  WARNING: The volume Volume1 (ZFS) status is UNKNOWN
• 
  WARNING: The volume Volume2 (ZFS) status is UNKNOWN

I have no idea how to fix this problem, can you guys please help me. I did safe the back of the config, I tried to upload the config but it did not solve the problem.
Any help is appreciated.

Just ran zpool status and get the following

internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library
[root@NAS ~]# zpool status internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library

What method did you use to upgrade? Did you finish the upgrade after it failed?

Hi, I used the GUI method... I tried to do the upgrade 2-3 times but it failed each time.

You'll need to burn the stick again then, using either the old version or the new version.

OK I will try that thanks and let you know how it goes. Once ive burned the new stick, do I just go to settings>upload config to restore my nas drive?

 

[dlavigne]

Yes.

Your best bet is to grab a different USB flash drive and do a fresh install of 9.2.0 and then restore your configuration backup, assuming you created a configuration backup. That should get you back to where you started. I would not recommend 9.2.1.5 and recommend holding out for 9.2.1.6 due to bug issues. Now those bug issues may not affect you but I'm sure you could hold out another month.

If you did not save your configuration file then do an Auto-Import to recognize your pool.
