NAS reboot caused No Pools Found

What are your drives connected to?

Harddrives are directly connected to the motherboard via SATA cables

You may need to dive deeper, which I’m not comfortable with.

So you’re not without some understanding of what you tried:

  • We confirmed that the OS detects the disks and their partitions
  • Two 12-TB disks, each with a swap partition and a ZFS partition
  • zpool import claims there are no available pools to import
  • zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-partuuid cannot even detect the ZFS metadata on the supposed partitions, even when instructed to explicitly look for them with known PARTUUIDs.

Since you’re not using an HBA or “RAID” card, it also rules those out.

Someone might come in here with zdb commands, which are too low level for my comfort.

Thanks for the explanation - I guess it’s still unknown why the sudden restart can cause the drives to suddenly be “unmounted” from the pool
(not sure if thats the correct terminology)

corrupted something perhaps leading to it being unreadable

It is concerning.

Unless the reboot was caused by faulty power or an electrical issue, and somehow managed to damage both HDDs, but not enough to make them undetecable or ruin their partition tables.

Doesn’t hurt to run a short (and if you’re willing, a long) SMART selftest on both drives.


While you’re at it, to check some SMART info before running any tests:

smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

smartctl -l error /dev/sda

smartctl -x /dev/sda

Repeat for sdb as well.

root@truenas[~]# smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

smartctl -l error /dev/sda

smartctl -x /dev/sda

Nothing looks out of the ordinary.

With the zdb tool, and someone who is more savvy, they might be able to help figure this out.

My only other “quick” test is to boot into an Ubuntu 24.10 live ISO from a USB stick, and see if the command zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-partuuid detects an available pool to import.

This can maybe rule out TrueNAS.

EDIT: Don’t actually import or mount anything. You’re only testing to see if it can detect an importable pool from a clean Ubuntu 24.10 environment.

with respect to your expertise, i’ve tried the zpool imports thru ubuntu prior to coming to the forums and it returned “no pool available” as well

Then it leaves this:

sounds intimidating and very unfortunate that my issue is deeper than “surface level” all due to a random unknown restart.

im hoping and praying for some support to recover the data. unlucky me for the incident, but lucky me for the forum members support

Forgot to ask. There is no Proxmox or hypervisor or VM involved? Pure bare metal PC with TrueNAS installed directly on it?

correct, just a PC with TrueNAS as the OS

reading upon some of the deeper zdb commands - i should be doing a backup of the disks? in their unreadable state?
do i need to back up both? or only 1 of them since they’re mirrored? I have an uninitialized external harddrive thats 14TB - not sure if i can back up both sda and sdb if they’re 12TB (10.9T)

At this point, we may as well tag @HoneyBadger :pray:

I tested these commands on my own SCALE system before recommending them. I have no idea why it doesn’t work on your SCALE system.

Actually yes, it is very useful. The START sector of the partition is not essential. This shows that the disks for the missing pool are visible to Linux, and that the ZFS partitions exist and have partuuids.

However ZFS is unable to find and import the disks for some reason. Please run:

  • sudo zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-partuuid

and post the results here.

Hello,
really unsure why everything is returning no pools available. it returns as follows

root@truenas[~]# sudo zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-partuuid
no pools available to import

@honeybadger Are you able to help?

:sweat_smile: I really appreciate everyone’s help. My optimism is undoubtedly fading. Things looking dire? Are my options running out?

I would assume that the data is on the disk somewhere just inaccessible

Be optimistic - I could probably make a guess at the command you need to try, but rather than hoping I get it right you would probably be better off waiting to see if Chris can help with less guesswork and more expertise.
