and instead of what I expected, I got something else. I have 4 drives in a RAIDZ1. ada0-3. I added a 5th drive to the machine, planning to add it in as an extra drive not in the pool to use as an internal backup. Maybe some rsyncs to it or something. Upon booting up, now when I look at the GUI I am showing that FreeNAS has added the drive in, and assigned it as ada1, member of the RAIDZ. What used to be ada1 is now ada4, and not in the pool.
I am nervous about wiping and playing with the new disk now, since this is a production NAS. Is this normal behavior?
