11.2 - can't replace disk from GUI

[file_haver]

When I go to my pool status and attempt to replace a drive with an unused one, I get the following error

Command '('gpart', 'create', '-s', 'gpt', '/dev/ada0')' returned non-zero exit status 1.

In this case i'm trying to replace ada1 with ada0. How can I get around this error?

Thanks, i added my SATA controller and drive details to my signature.

Yes i have the manual open, i've gone through it carefully, and searched the forum, as well as attempted to do the command manually in the shell. I am actually attempting to do section 9.4.2 of the manual step by step exactly.

I also tried using gpart create -s gpt ada0 in the shell but then I get gpart: geom 'ada0': Operation not permitted

I am attempting to replace ada1 with ada0. My RAID1 is made up of ada1 and ada2. Prior to attempting to replace the drive, I followed the manual's instructions exactly on testing a new drive before utilizing it, which included wiping the drive, so ada0 is currently post-wipe with no intact partition table.

You still have not indicated the version of FreeNAS that you are using.
If you are using version 11.2, which is new, this could be a bug worthy of a bug report.

Sorry yes, i only left the version in the thread title.
I'll make a bug report.

I'll make a bug report.

From the app on my phone, the thread title is not visible to me once I have entered the message thread. I can only see the content of the messages, not even the signature is visible.
The best course of action is to include all relevant information in the message body to ensure that the people trying to help you have the information they need.

You might want to submit a bug report. I don't see where the OP told us what his report number was, so there may not be one yet.
