Hello, first time posting here so I hope I have the correct section of the forums.

I had one of my 2tb drives go out, and had to replace and rebuild. Its RAID5 with 4x2tb drives on the Intel Matrix hardware raid (i know).

It took 80+ hours for the rebuild to complete, but as you can see here. Its back online and looks good:

However, within Freenas it shows I have no disks configured under the main system page.
I did check and under disks-management, I can see the raid:

But when I check under mount point it shows an error by status:

I did notice while booting there were a few gpt errors
(i applogize for some of the overlapping of these images, it was tough capturing them with my phone as the screen went by:

I'm sure my data is still there, but I just need to maybe re-link it somehow? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to be as thorough as I could with this post, but if you need any info or want me to run any commands please let me know.
Thank you.

try to do a fsck like descrive in FAQ0001: http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=faq:0001

in your case from shell:
and please consider seriosly migrate from a Hardware RAID to a software RAID, and to a ZFS RaidZ1 in your case, your life can be easy ( not so dangerous that actually is).

Thanks for the reply. And moving to a software raid is DEFINATELY on the horizon. As for the command, this was the output:

acording to this image http://i.imgur.com/IzKxXYR.jpg /dev/ar0p1 must exist, please enter in a shell and do a ls -l in /dev/ to see actual devices.

if do not exist try option in Disks|Management new button "Clear config and import software raid disk".

My last suggest is to delete in webGUI actual mountpoint http://i.imgur.com/IzKxXYR.jpg and recreate, but not sure if this destroy your data, so wait suggest of others users that have more sperience.

These are the contents of /dev:

Also, I"m afraid I dont see "Clear config and import software raid disk" on disks-management. I have a rescan disks button, and an edit disk wrench icon.

I did notice when clicking on the Add button I can see the individual disks:

see button on my NAS:

but try this command first:
notice "s" instead "p" and notice that ar0s1 exist on your /dev/ folder.

This is what I get when running that command: do you think I should add each disk individually on this screen?

I only find this info about superblock: http://www.unix.com/filesystems-disks-m ... wrong.html.

and no , do not add disk individually, because you use a hardware Raid, and you need to see ar0 (hardware raid disk) not ad(x) disk ( individually disk) .
