Zpool import not working

[entilza]

zpool import -f -FX -d /dev/ -m Goose

try -m ?

Lights don't really respond to errors through IT mode.

If you think the card is bad you can always plug the drives directly in as sata but you need 4 available ports but you may have the wrong /dev thing when you plug back... maybe you can test the card

worst case can go in from host side but you'd have to reinstall your truenas on host bare metal?

Well, what do you think? I have a spare ssd. I can shut down, pull the proxmox ssd and barebones truenas again? My truenas vms see the pool but can't import it. Not sure what's going on...frustrated.

zpool import -f -FX -d /dev/ -m Goose

try -m ?

Device currently unavailable. Same errors from before.

Can you try

zpool import -f -d /dev Goose -o readonly=on

zpool import -f -FX -d /dev Goose -o readonly=on

 

[entilza]

You could reinstall on a spare ssd but I would eliminate the card too and plug all into sata ports.

There's no harm trying this.

The only reason I had to use the card is because I was using Proxmox right? So...therefore...barebones on other ssd it should read all 6 bays again right? Then...truenas install and backup from the truenas backup I have of those configurations? And...see what it does? Anything else? Do I need to use the original raid card that came in the server or no card is needed or?

 

[entilza]

after the last import attempt

what does this show

journalctl -xe

 

[entilza]

If you are not sure if the card is bad we'd just use no card. How many sata ports are on the motherboard of the server?

I would just install and see if we can zfs import from anything

I'd have to take the lid of and look. I have 6 bays in the front. It's a Dell R710 using 6 x 3.5 inch bays. (Only 5 are loaded)

@entilza

 

[entilza]

i see no zfs log stuff there hmm

 

[entilza]

This no valid uberblock sounds bad... ugh

 

[MEpke]

@entilza What's next?

 

[entilza]

read some forums try this:

sysctl vfs.zfs.max_missing_tvds=1
sysctl vfs.zfs.spa.load_verify_metadata=0
sysctl vfs.zfs.spa.load_verify_data=0

then try the import thing we did earlier above

 

[MEpke]

@entilza No directories and such.

 

[entilza]

that may have been for truenas need to find the linux equivalent syntax

 

[entilza]

sudo su
cd /sys/module/zfs/parameters
cat 1 > zfs_max_missing_tvds
cat 0 > spa_load_verify_metadata
cat 0 > spa_load_verify_data

 

[MEpke]

sudo su
cd /sys/module/zfs/parameters
cat 1 > zfs_max_missing_tvds
cat 0 > spa_load_verify_metadata
cat 0 > spa_load_verify_data

Tried su and sudo and all except the cd command say permission denied.
I'm about ready to try the ssd swap lol
