Overview-
I had FreeNAS installed on a USB jump drive and the drive failed.. Hardware for the system is a Dualcore system with 4 GB of ram.. I have 4 drives in the system 2 are mirrored and then I have 2 that are just 2 different drives for different shares and jails.
I installed the system using UFS and it was along time ago. I used UFS because the system had major issues with performance with ZFS and that was what was recommended.. I want to say it was 2 maybe 3 years ago.. It ran great and I have upgraded it a few time so I am not sure what version of FreeNAS was installed on it before it died..
Issue-
I have had a couple issues where I had to reload freenas after an upgrade and the volumes just mounted them self. This time I put a new jump drive into the system and installed the latest and it sees the drives but doesn't auto mount them. Nor will it give me an option to import them. I then looked at the system and I don't see UFS as a supported file type only ZFS. Which makes sense since it has more error checking and correcting. Anyways :)
I did follow the instructions in the manual to attempt to import the UFS volume and I have no available discs in the system to copy the data to.. Is this my only option with the latest version of FreeNAS 9.3?
So I downloaded an older version of FreeNAS 8.2 and that wont install on my system at all.. I re-downloaded it couple times and tried and for some reason it just throws errors. But 9.3 was just fine.. So I figured WTH and went to download NAS4FREE and tried that. It sees the drives but will not auto mount the volume.
Once I get the drives mounted my goal will be now to copy the data off to a ZFS drive ;) onto a new i5 or i7 system with 8+ GB ram..
I would love any support possible!!
