Pool has disappeared after export

[Omenemo]

After an unexpected power cycle one of my pools had all drives disconnected.
As the drives all appeared to be working properly, I I used the GUI to export my pool (named: MirrorPool), thinking I’d then just import it.

Instead my pool has now seeming disappeared, It’s no longer in the dropdown gui (I expected that after an export), but I can’t even find it in shell :

The only evidence I seemingly have that my old pool existed, is the SMB share : /mnt/MirrorPool/Photos still appears in the Shares section.

Here’s some shell commands incase it helps :

sudo zpool import

no pools available to import

sudo zpool list

No partitions? When and how was the pool “MirrorPool” created?

Is there any HBA involved?

[Omenemo]

The no partitions confuses me. Mirror pool consisted of 4 vDevs, containing 2 drives each. I created it via GUI just over a year ago.

Yes there’s an HBA, an Adaptec ASR-71605 passed through in IT mode (proxmox is the host)

Just realised the Torrents drives are directly connected to my motherboard (sata controller passed through as well). Perhaps the HBA has died, but would that explain why I can’t see the exported pool anywhere now?

What does zpool import show on the proxmox host ?

What confuses me is that you didn’t see the need to explain upfront that it is a virtualised setup! With a dubious non-LSI HBA.

Its not just you.

I’ve decided to rebuild (bare metal) and recover from backup. Fortunately my photos were 3-2-1, something I fortunately learned in advance from lurking on the old forums “Raid is not a backup”

Thank-you for offering your time to help. You’re all awesome!

I’d also like apologise for my setup not being more obvious, I thought I’d added my build to a “My System” signature. Apparently that didn’t work and I didn’t notice. I’m sorry for unnecessarily wasting your time.
