I learned to use the zpool command from a command line and did a 15 minute 
reversal of the transactions.

How much damage if any has been done though to my data? Most of it I can 
replace most likely, but some of it
which is 635 gigs or so of tarballs is potentially important. I stored sha512 
sums and md5 sums of the tarballs
along with them... these backups haven't been evaluated for what is important 
and what isn't. I can probably trim
that 635 gigs down to something more reasonable. I backed up an old Linux 
system for my brother and while he
has a copy on 2 synology nas, my copy is still important.

I have three 4 tb drives in the FreeNAS Mini, is this enough for redundancy? 
Should I get an 8 TB drive in an
external enclosure and hook it via USB3? I'm wondering what kind of raid is 
going on, I only know that the drives
use the ZFS file system.

I learned about smartctl as well, but I don't know how to get and interpret the 
results of a long test. I want to know
how the drives are doing. I'm updated to FreeNAS 11.2 U6.

BTW: I appreciate the offer of help offline if I call a phone number, but with 
the Sara spam on the plug list I couldn't
trust the phone number.
