Power fluctuation caused the ZFS pool to vanish.
Hey there, I understand your situation. You're working with limited time each day and only have a few hours to focus on this task. The power issue in your room is definitely a distraction, and the network folder problem makes things even trickier. You checked ZFS on your Ubuntu Server, but it reports no available pools and shows only datasets listed. Your setup seems simple—three hard drives connected as network storage via Samba. The disk space check gave you some peace of mind, but now you're unsure where to begin. It sounds like you're just trying to get everything running smoothly without knowing the right steps.
At first, the server had a problem where the pool would shut down unexpectedly. Typing commands like “zfs import zpool” didn’t fix it, and now I’m concerned the issue is more serious.
I realized the issue, likely a wrong command or syntax. I think I should run "sudo zpool import new-pool". It’s unclear what name I used, so maybe renaming it to match the network would help. Exporting and importing seems risky and could cause confusion, especially if others are already pointing to "new-pool". Updating the system settings might be better instead.
