I am having some nasty problems and I need some help to sort them out and/or recover my data.
I run a single disk pool that is mounted on boot. Normally everything is great, but now (for some reason) the pool never gets online. When I try to check the status by running
- Code: Select all
zpool status
I also tried to look for errors in the log files, but nothing obvious.
My best guess is that this is related to starting hardware failure on the disk, but I would really like to get the data out!
Disk util can read the disk and Disk Drill can also scan the disk can find most, if not all, files on the disk. So it can't be completely dead.
Tried to reinstall ifs, but it fails as I need to first export the pool. Which I can't as any
- Code: Select all
zpool
Read somewhere that I should try to mount the pool as read only. How can I do this when I can't access any of the CLI commands?
Can I specify this in a config file somewhere?
Hope that you can help me or at least point me in the right direction
