My problem was that hdds of my zfs raid partly degraded and partly destroyed after a lightning.
I was able to detect the problem with zpool status:
zpool status myzfs
pool myzfs
state: DEGRADED (DESTROYED)
The good news. ZFS seems to be really reliable and I in my case was able to recover the raid fully. How I recovered see below in the answer.
Recovering a ZFS Raid I learned two things:
- 1 failed drive brings a zpool down. An raid based on stiped mirrows however stays available. Details exlained in ZFS: You should use mirror vdevs, not RAIDZ
- Recovering and resilvering a
zpool based on raidz2-0 takes a really long time. You may be better of with a striped mirror. This has pros and cons widely discussed in the internet sdfg - A raid is NOT a backup! Offshoring backups into the cloud or a second location is an big advantage and is possible today without any big affords. Most Raids allow backups to the cloud or ZFS replication to another NAS
Orignal debug information
This however there not necessarily important to detect and solve the problem.
I have troubles with my freenas 9.2.1. It crashed today. Its running a fileserver on zfs jbod raid 2. I'm not sure what exactly causes the problems. The system is booting however reacting pretty slow. From the logs I couldn't figure anything totally wrong. Thus I'm not sure where to get startet with error analysis and how to solve them.
The problem is that the system crashes and responds pretty slow. The freenas web interface crashes as well since pyhon dies.
Freenas is installed on an usb stick, an additional drive (2tb) is attached for backup. The other 4 drives run as zfs raid.
The harddrives do show smart errors. How can I fix them? May they be the reason for the problems.

Best Answer
This means either a bad SATA cable, or - given you have another dying disk, ada3 - might suggest a power supply problem. It's a system disk or a swap space, and because it's just plain UFS, with no redundancy, there is no way for the system to cope with this.
As for ZFS - please post
zpool statusoutput.
