[SOLVED] Cannot access ZFS pool after crash & upgrade

[mar.mack]

Hello,

I use since 2 yars legacy Freenas 7.x on usb key...
Last week, the USB key stop working (damaged filesystem: incorrect partition size).
I was not abble to recover it...

I never upgrade it because the hardware is to limited (Via C7 1Ghz with 1Go Ram).
I try to dowload Freenas 7, but is no more available (i have it on the server... but is down).

I discover that Nas4Free the best alternative, so i download it, and install it on a usb key.
It start without problem...
But it don't see my zfs pool...

I have a backup of freenas configuration... but it is on the zfs pool

I don't know how to recover it...

I have tried to import ZFS pool... it failed...
I have had all disk has unformated and tried to import ZFS pool... it failed
I have had all disk has ZFS pool and tried to import ZFS pool... it failed

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks for your help.

I finaly found the solution...

After added the disk as 'ZFS storage pool device' in disk management menu...
Go to ZFS > Configuration > Detected > import > import again (force to imported has it adviced) ... the configuration will appear.
Go to ZFS > Synchronise > click on Synchronise.

Now it's need to recreate share (smb,afp, ...) and users ...
