Hello,
This is my first time posting on the forum, and if any help could be provided that would be great.
I am not experienced in FreeNas, and after following a few guides, I was able to get a working NAS.
Recently, I removed a old drive from a Windows machine, and I decided to attempt to add it to my NAS system for extra storage. It was my fault, but I did not check any of the documentation before plugging the drive into my NAS.
After connecting the hard drive, when I booted, it started of the windows drive due to my bios boot priority not being set properly. I quickly shut it off, and booted into FreeNas, but once it booted in, I got a critical message saying "The Volume Main state is UNKNOWN".
I stopped the machine, unplugged the drive, and changed it back to what it originally was and started the NAS again to get the same message.
These are the console messages that i see at startup,
There was also some message that said it failed to load or import my Main volume, which was not in the console on the web interface.
I am running my NAS on a old HP machine that I re-purpose into a NAS.
It is a duo core computer, and has 8 GB of ram.
I am using 3 Segate 4TB IronWolf Drives running in RAIDZ
This just happened to me, so I am in a bit of a panic.
Sorry if i am violating any rules, but if anyone could provide me with some advice as to whether it I can recover from this, that would be great.
If there is any additional information I need to post, please let me know what is needed and how to get it if it is FreeNas specific as I am not experienced at all.
Thank you for any possible help
