Hello everyone.
My volume setup looks like this:
4 WD Red in RAIDZ2 + 1 WD Red as Spare
1 Toshiba X300 Striped as HotSwap
When I start the server with every HDD attached, everything's fine. Unmounting the Toshiba volume and then detaching the Toshiba: still everything's fine.
Now when I attach the Toshiba back while the system is running for some reason the WD Red spare HDD becomes unavailiable, the volume status says it is removed. But this is not true, I didn't touch the HDD.
Restarting the server with the Toshiba attached or detached makes the spare work again.
Whenever I attach the Toshiba while the system is running the WD Red spare will appear as removed and the volume as degraded.
What's going on? Any ideas?
EDIT:
I turned the 4 WD Red + 1 WD Red RaidZ2 + Spare into a 5 WD Red RaidZ2. Now attaching the Toshiba doesn't degrade this volume anymore.
From this I deduce that this is indeed a FreeNAS bug and not related to my hardware.
