Replacing a failed/failing disk

Thanks!
Great stuff, thanks!!
Thanks, that's a very clear and helpful documentation!
Great job. Styno makes a good point. One of the confusing things is, in various places, you see a drive referred to 3 different ways: name, serial number, and gptid number or whatever it is. The other part of this is figuring out which drive to offline and which one to select as its replacement.
I guess I should have taken the initiative and made something like this. I started my FreeNAS adventure using all second hand parts, including the hard drives. I have replaced every drive I ever installed in FreeNAS at least once.
Excellent job.
How about adding the extra steps/clicks on STOTAGE - VIEW DISKS to get to the serial number?
Have not had to replace a disk yet in FreeNAS. Figured I'd see what all the fuss was about. This made it brain dead simple, even a zombie could do it, (or a half asleep SysAdmin :-).
there was a need for this.
WTG on this! Could this be placed as a link in the Documentation/ Users Guide
