Recovering encrypted ZFS volume from dirty shutdown

[Chase Farrant]

FreeNAS had been frozen for about 10 minutes, so I decided to shut it down manually (in hindsight probably not a good idea).

Now when I boot up, the volume fails to mount. It is 8 x 2TB mirrored and encrypted. I tried running fsck on the first disk but it didn't recognize the file system (probably because of encryption).

I tried the auto-import feature but it claimed that "volume0" already existed. Can I delete my volume from the GUI and then auto-import? Or I will I loose all my data?

Fixed it! After seeing that my disks were in good condition I ran "zpool import" which made the locked volume visible through the GUI.
