Hi,

I have a login problem.
I removed a 1TB disk with data and documents from a Freenas system.
I installed it on a PC that mounts Ubuntu, and when I try to open the disk it gives me this error:

Error mounting /dev/sdc2 at media/root/Mediacenter: unknown filesystem type "zfs_member"

How can I have access to my data?

You have two options, really.

First, put the drive back into our FreeNAS machine, set up a share, and access the data from your ubuntu machine via the share.

Or, you could install zfs on the Ubuntu machine and mount it that way. I don't advice this approach as doing something incorrect could result in you losing your data entirely.

Is there a reason the first option won't work for you?

...which, unless it's a pretty old version of Ubuntu, should already be there. But it does seem like putting it back in the FreeNAS box would be the better way to go.

yes, hardware of the FreeNas system is not working.

Then you'll need to either fix your FreeNAS box, or figure out how to use ZFS on your version of Ubuntu. I don't think we can help you with the latter--that would be a question better addressed to the Ubuntu support channels.
