Hi,
Before i start let me tell you 2 things.
1. I know freenas & virtualisation is a bad thing and not recommended
2. I have little to none linux knowledge
Having said that, i move to the problem.
I have an esxi server at home that runs a few things (mikrotik, proxy etc). I had 2x1tb spare drives and thought i would give Freenas a try. Since the pc is dual core 4gb ram, i went with ufs and (i guess raid0 or the freenas equivalent)
I mounted the drives using this guide http://mogsub.com/2013/03/27/building-a-nas-part-2-installing-esxi-and-freenas/
Everything went great very happy for 2-3 months no problems at all
Due to some weird kvm - usb mouse bios setting incompatibility, i had to reset the esxi bios. After that (and having reconfigured all the bios settings as before), freenas did not recognize the disks size and i could not access the data. Deleting the volume and auto-reimporting reports The selected disks were not verified for this import rules
in esxi
fdisk -l

Any help on recovering the data?
