Hi all,
I wanted to find out the physical location of all my drives in freenas since I didn't record them when I built the box. I decided to do the following for each disk in the raidz2 volume:
1. offlining the device
2. run dd on the resulting (degraded) system to watch the disk LEDs to see which one was inactive
3. pull out the disk (it is a hot swappable system) and write down the serial number
4. online the device again and wait for resilvering
Everything was working ok. However, unexpectedly after step 4 (online the device), one disk become unavailable. I got the following message:
warning: device 'gptid/562624fb-e3ec-11e4-b1f3-d0509951786c' onlined, but remains in faulted state
use 'zpool replace' to replace devices that are no longer present
Since the system and disks are new (less than 1 month), I think they are ok and this a software issue. What can I do? Can I re-format/re-label the disk and pretend it is another brand new disk and install? Is there a way to test if the disk is really bad? Should I reboot? Any suggestion is welcomed?
Cheers
