Lost data

Can anyone help me a bit? I reinstalled NAS4Free and reimported my config that I had backed up, but something went wrong. My iSCSI data is all missing, the extent just shows 400GB of empty space. Is there a way to recover my previous extent? Does creating a new extent, if that's what I actually did, overwrite the old one entirely? The extent contained(s) my VMWare datastore.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction! I'm pretty fluent with Linux, but not so good with FreeBSD/NAS4Free at the terminal level.

Hi!

Do you use the same initiator before?

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. How can I tell what was being used before? I messed up and changed my ESXi servers already.

You can find the original initiator and tag in:

Services | iSCSI Target | Initiator Group

Is this in Nas4free?

Of course, when you created your iSCSI disk, you probably also created an initiator name.
