TrueNAS General

Hi Guys :waving_hand:
So i recently bought a HP Microserver gen8 and installed TrueNAS on it with 2 HDD’s in the front bays and a boot SATA SSD in the ODD drive bay. It was finicky but i got it working but today after turning off the device last night and rebooting this morning TrueNAS has gotten rid of my Storage Pool that i had my HDD’s and Apps. I would appreciate any help on this. Edit: The pool shows up in shell but cannot be imported in.

pool: Storage
id: 14372537195491371741
state: ONLINE
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier.
config:

    Storage                                   ONLINE
      mirror-0                                ONLINE
        33700baa-df84-4623-a4fc-962b0c6ac7b1  ONLINE
        92c9c6b8-fb50-4569-a56c-dbea326415a5  ONLINE

cannot import ‘Storage’: I/O error
Destroy and re-create the pool from
a backup source.

I think the controller that comes in that server (HP B120i?) is a RAID controller that can be changed to AHCI mode. Do you at least have it on AHCI mode?

Also, I’m not sure what the community thinks of that controller, but this one caught my eye.

Generally, as a rule of thumb, this is an early warning sign that you probably shouldn’t be running it in production unless you don’t mind losing your data. I would never trust something that was “finicky” to setup to hold my irreplaceable precious family pictures for sure.
