Hi all,
Some years ago I set it up for a client the FreeNAS 8.2 with 4 of 1TB Seagate HDD in raidz1. One of the HDD failed and I removed before set it to Offline for replacement, therefore I do not see it on the list in "Volume Status". The raidz1 is degraded. I installed new 1TB SSD and it appears as "OFFLINE" with the name as "gptid/4fb...84" (pic1). I'm planning to replace all 4 HDD, but first I need to fix the raidz1. The button "Replace" giving me an error "...invalid vdev specification, use '-f' to override..." I tried to do zpool online or replace in the shell, but I guess I do not exactly know what is "pool" and "dev" because whatever I used it gave me an error. The "Alert System " is telling me to use "zpool online or zpool replace". I was unsuccessful there... So, now I'm trying to extend the volume through "Volume Manager" (pic2), where I can set the ZFS Extra I guess as "Spare", but when I select the disk (pic3), the selection for ZFS Extra will disappear. Maybe a Bug...
Now comes the questions:
(1) If I will click on "Add Volume" to extend existing "data" volume, will it add the disk correctly into my raidz1?
(2) I'm assuming that it will clear data only on the added new disk and not on whole "data" volume. Correct?
(3) If this isn't the way to do it, what are the correct steps?
Thanks for helping!
