errors: No known data errors

the faulted one is

root@:~ # /tmp/bin/gptid-to-device gptid/23fdb526-9579-11e7-9009-7085c239f419
ada2p2

the rest are

root@:~ # /tmp/bin/gptid-to-device gptid/ab074aeb-3691-11ed-aacb-7085c239f419
ada0p2
root@:~ # /tmp/bin/gptid-to-device gptid/231416ea-9579-11e7-9009-7085c239f419
ada1p2
root@:~ # /tmp/bin/gptid-to-device gptid/24edb679-9579-11e7-9009-7085c239f419
ada3p2
root@:~ # /tmp/bin/gptid-to-device gptid/6fb3d12c-acb3-11ee-99e4-7085c239f419
ada4p2
root@:~ # /tmp/bin/gptid-to-device gptid/26bf7deb-9579-11e7-9009-7085c239f419
ada5p2
root@:~ # /tmp/bin/gptid-to-device gptid/27aac2e7-9579-11e7-9009-7085c239f419
ada6p2

so the missing one is ada7. Check serial numbers

root@:~ # diskinfo -ls /dev/ada?
/dev/ada0   WCK7V07K
/dev/ada1   W801NBX6
/dev/ada2   W801MQGM
/dev/ada3   W801B3XV
/dev/ada4   WTL0F4XX
/dev/ada5   W801ANS1
/dev/ada6   W801AK4D

so it is actually ada1 that is missing

ada1 - ST4000LM016-1N2170, serial: W801LQCD

2025-10-03: from a FreeBSD install image, live shell:

# mkdir /tmp/etc
# mount_unionfs /tmp/etc /etc
# service sshd onestart

2025-10-03: networking

ifconfig re0 up
dhclient re0

and we have a network.

2025-10-03: zfs - the scrub finished during the night.

2025-09-28: booted from a FreeBSD 14.3-release install image, and ran zpool import -a -N -f. Then zpool status shows that the pool is doing a scrub.

2017-09-09: I booted FreeBSD 11.0-release off that usb stick again, to check if all drives show up in FreeBSD - they do. Default (without selecting the boot menu) this usb stick (or rather, the FreeBSD 11.0 image on it) boots from the BIOS version. Tried selecting UEFI boot from the menu, it had trouble mounting the root filesystem automatically, but I just mounted it manually at the root mount prompt. All drives show up now also (tested with camcontrol devlist).

2017-08-29: I booted FreeBSD 11.0-release off a usb stick everything appears to work.
