My array has been having issues for some time (over a year) now with drives becoming unavailable and errors but the drives are all good when I do tests in windows so I’ve been reading them to the array
current system is
2 vdevs of 10x WD red pro 20TB in raid-z2
lsi 9305-24i HBA
AMD Epic 7443P
ASRock ROMED8-2T motherboard
512GB ECC Ram
Silverstone RM43-320-RS case
I’ve tried another 9305 HBA, sas cables, cases (i switched from norco 4224), re-setting the cpu. but this problem keeps prosisting
Hell broke loose yesterday
the pool went offline, restarts haven’t restored it.
As you can see from the image 2* drives are offline and 1 was in the process of replacing itself. 8 out of 10 drives still should be able to continue with a raid-z2 vdev but when i go to import the pool it doesnt give me the option in the gui so I tried using
No backups, no problems, what could possibly go wrong
As soon as you saw a disk drop out and become unavailable you should have investigated exactly what the root cause is. These things don’t happen by magic, and leaving it (for a year???) will greatly increase your chances of having the exact issue you’re having now.
What you might want to do is import the pool as readonly zpool import -f -o readonly=on -R /mnt and pray that you can access some recoverable data.
I definitely don’t want to invalidate his troubleshooting, it’s all perfectly reasonable to do if you believe the disks are sound, am just a little shocked the disks weren’t replaced for over a year after multiple issues, I’d have been freaking out from day one!
Taking another look at the screenshot again yeah it does look like it should import if forced as there are two disk failures, so data should be intact. Genuinely hoping there’s a recovery out of this, and hopefully a lesson learned (r.e. backups).
Over the course of the year I have replaced every single compnet in the syustem, i’ve tryed 2 differnt HBA’s new sas cables, new case (backplanes) fresh truenas install, new cpu platform, I did have the same issue with 8TB drives so upgraded to 20TB drives, I have ran out of things to replace.
Yes I know I should have had backups but I hadn’t got to the root of the problem with all the “old” parts so once I had I was going to use them to make a backup system
It is hard to backup when you have so much
yes I have a 80mm noctura fan pointed directly at it
I also had been using Norco 4224 but in my troubleshooting I have heard of some people haveing issue with the backplane so I bought a silverstone rm43-320 to try and fix the issue but it didn’t
I issued the command as you stated
I can see the datasets but i cant see the pool on the storage page
When I go to create a share toget the data off i get the following error.
