Added SSD Cache Disks to Zvol by MIstake

[Michael Johnson]

Originally I had an 8 @ 32 total TB Disk Storage set up. I went to add cache disks awhile back I think I added them to the same storage mount. I can manually unplug them and I do get the alert that they are disconnected. Is there a way to manually remove them from the server array so I can use them for my cache disks? Again, they weren't in the original Volume and were added later. Understandably I can't re splinter data after initial set up, but initially it was always 8 disks and the 2 extra don't do anything.

Solved Myself. Went to Scrub and removed cache File disks. Still having difficulty with speed issues. Transfer speeds cap at 22 MB/s unfortunately.

If you added them to the pool, then no, you can't remove them now. You'd need to back up the data, destroy your pool and create it correctly.

To verify what you currently have, do a zpool status and post the results in code tags to preserve formatting.
