I was hoping for some help recovering data.
I setup a pc with truenas scale for a SMB share.
worked flawless untill the mobo died. i ordered a replacement and got it to boot back up and all my other VMs work flawlessly but truenas works fine but can’t find pool.
story is i had 1 drive a 1TB and it was my proxmox boot drive and added it to truenas to use it as storage.
later down the road i got a second 3tb harddrive and added it to the orginal pool.
now the issue….
I go into truenas and my pool is missing. it shows that it existed but is offline. and the 3tb harddrive is showing as unused disk and wants me to wipe and make new pool.
ive tried the zpool import and such and says it cant find any pools.
i know its there somewhere because on proxmox it shows the drive using 500ish gb out of 1tb and my other 2 VMs are pihole and home assistant. i know they arent using 500 gb of the local_lvm
Clarification is needed. Are you virtualizing TrueNAS on a proxmox host? Or you installed TrueNAS on a previously-proxmox drive? Either way is kinda dangerous and obviously caused confusion since you were unable to replicate your setup post-crash.
TrueNAS doesn’t use LVM at all for disk management, so it sounds like you’re still using proxmox as your host. In that case you should probably check in with them to figure out how you configured your drive. I don’t know much about how proxmox works but I assume that in order for you to have been able to pass in a partition as a disk into TrueNAS that was a section of your boot drive there had to be some configuration on your end to slice that out in lvm and give it as a virtual drive in TrueNAS. Whatever you did back then to do that you probably have to re-trace your steps.
Yes proxmox is the host. I installed truenas as a VM. When i made the truenas VM I setup a say 500gb virtual drive to use in truenas as a pool.
So then it sounds like you need to interrogate your proxmox installation as to where that virtual drive went. If that logical drive is not available anymore, there’s nothing TrueNAS can do if it’s not present in the VM environment.
