Hello,
First off, I just want to say thanks for taking the time to read a new users post. I know it can be annoying when trying to help noobs so please bear with me. I am trying to recover my encrypted pool after deleting it. Below are the details.
What I Did
I had an encrypted pool named tank configured as a mirror with two 5TB drives. I backed up the encryption keys and also created a full backup of the pool to StorJ.
Wanting to experiment with a striped configuration, I exported and destroyed the original pool using the GUI (checked all three boxes during export).
What I Did After Deleting the Pool
- Created a new encrypted pool with the same two 5TB drives, now in a striped configuration.
- Ran a restore from StorJ using Cloud Sync Tasks.
The Problem
- The GUI shows that ~500GB of data was restored (confirmed via Dataset Space Management).
- However, the Datasets GUI doesn’t show any of the restored data.
- The data is visible in the shell, so it’s definitely there.
Things to Note
- During the restore process, I was never prompted for the encryption key from the original pool.
- I’m not sure if the restored data is being properly mounted or recognized by the new pool.
- I’m happy to provide more details—just let me know what you need.
would have included them but the forum wont allow it. Thanks again for your time!
