Well like many, I’m sure you’ve seen this staring at you.
I’d only just rebuilt this server, and switched over to truenas figuring it was a sane idea. New to truenas, can’t really find any info due to the inability to make the search function with strings of help, or everyone has a different issue than I do? I’m not even sure. I know I uploaded my drive SMART tests from truenas to here not that long ago and things were green(supposedly). Except for my nvme intel 600p 512gb boot drive, which had an error from what Truenas was saying friday(23rd june 2023), or I thought it did? the little bell, and going into the drives, everything was checking out green on the list of drives, except for the intel one, so I bought a replacement 970evo drive to replace the intel 600p drive, and now I’m sitting here with the above issue, with no idea how to fix it, because all the drives so far as I can tell are saying they’re okay. sigh I’m too old to keep learning this crap(over 40, and sure you /can/ learn new things when you get older, but technical stuff like this is making me beat my head against the wall until it works, and is frustrating.). I did at least save my truenas config to make install and setup for the replacement nvme drive simple, so simple I wish all were that easy.
Any help would be appreciated, because clearly I’m missing something on how to find out the faults in the hardware that are causing this issue, or it’s a wipe and redo sort of thing? There is literally 17TB of data there which was /supposed/ to be in raid-6 I don’t exactly want to lose. Raid-6 on my old raid card and setup still let me use the drives, but zfs and truenas shuts it down or something, so I can’t get to it, see it, or anything. Can’t even run a VM because the pool is on the drives with space, ha… oh and I never learned to set up a VM in truenas since I just use VMware on my windows machine over the years.
Oh and edit:
I did make a snapshot, if that will help, no idea how to actually use them, or if I /should/?
Oh and the alert. Though I didn’t snag screenshots of the others because I’d assumed I’d fixed it by replacing the nvme main OS drive(I /did/ drop it one night before ever using it as an os drive, onto wood flooring).
