3x 1TB drives
1x 750gb drive
32gb USB boot pen drive
8gb RAM
TrueNAS-12.0-U1
Hello. Long time FreeNAS user and lurker but I am completely stuck at the moment.
A few days ago I was unable to log into my TrueNAS box over the network and when I checked the machine I could hear one of the drives ticking. I have worked in I.T long enough to know that a drive had failed so worked out what one it was (750gb), shut the system down, removed the drive and tested it in a standalone HDD Dock. I ordered a 2TB to replace it and put the old drive back in but didn't power anything up as the system wouldn't boot with the drive in anyway.
Got the new drive and powered the system up with just the 3 1TB drives so I could see what I needed to do next only to see the dashboard showing
Vol1 (the only volume on the system)
Total Disks : Unknown
Pool Status: OFFLINE
Disks w/Errors: Unknown
Used Space: Unknown
and "Data Not Available"
In storage -> Pools it says that Vol1 System Dataset Pool is offline and if I go to its status nothing shows up at all.
I have tried adding the failed 750gig drive again and after leaving it to boot for around 30 mins I can log in but still get the same issues and the drive is not seen in storage -> disks.
any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
