Please forgive me as my skills and knowledge is limited here. I am using HEX os is what i used to install truenas scale i believe. About 2 weeks ago i got a email noting there was an ZFS error on one drive. I did what i could and with chatgpt came to the conclusion i need to run a scrub to see if th…

I think we might want to fix the “HDDs Recovery” pool name to remove the space in the name, Import the HDDs pool as read only and try to get the data off and onto your pool for recovery. Do you have any data on “HDDs Recovery” at this time? If empty, easy way would be to destroy the “HDDs Recovery…

No i just threw it together to make sure I could make a new pool of HDDs and import them. I have 3 8tb drives I planned to added to the HDD pool. Currently it has 4 4 tb drives. I know mixing sizes it not best but i plan to donate my 4tb drives to the in-laws and getting all 8+ in the coming months. …

sudo zpool status -v pool: HDDs state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data corruption. Applications may be affected. action: Restore the file in question if possible. Otherwise restore the entire pool from backup. see: https://openzfs…

[image] Titan: HDDs/Security Tapes:<0x1> This is metadata damage :grimacing: that’s uglier to recover from. If you’re able to import read-only and you have a group of 3x8T drives you could create a RAIDZ1 pool out of them and use that as a back-and-forth - copy all of your 4x4T data to the 3…

Thank you. Luckily thats just footage from my security cameras. I am ready to copy the data from the drives. But i can’t figure out how to do it from the GUI of true nas scale. If there is a best practice or a document please let me know. On that note is the best practice for video storage for cam…

Then if it is disposable data you may destroy the “Security Tapes” dataset, create a new one (great opportunity to get rid of the space in that name…) and scrub. Hopefully, the error hasn’t crept to a higher level and will go away with the (meta)data. Otherwise, for a transfer you would create a re…

I am struggling to destroy the data since it is in the read only state. What would the best approach be?

Just don’t copy the data off the read only pool or you destroy it where you are placing the Recovery. You can skip “Security Tapes”, if it’s not need or unrecoverable.

I am having no luck. Tried creating replication task but it is not showing the Data set. [image] [image]

Anyone have any suggestions even im just replicating one data set at a time? Is there any way to ignore the corrupted data set and import the rest?

I came across a different post but I was hoping some more experience users would have posted. I don’t think you can use ZFS Replication is your case.

this shows using Core but may give a clue how to accomplish it.
