Freenas 11.0-U4 / Lenovo TS440, 32Gb RAM, 32Tb HDD

My GUI Storage -> View Disks option shows the following:
Code:
ada0  PK2334PCKD989B  4.0 TB
ada1  PK2334PEK3U6VT  4.0 TB
ada2  PK1334PCKDBL3X  4.0 TB
ada3  PK2334PCJSXUMB  4.0 TB
da0  PK1331PAH67ZYX  4.0 TB
da1  PK1334PCJUDXXS  4.0 TB
da2  PK1334PCJP53ZS  4.0 TB
da3  PK2334PCJSX0MB  4.0 TB
da5  07015C06BB278C10  15.5 GB
The GUI System -> Boot -> Status display shows:
Code:
freenas-boot
  mirror-0
	da4p2
	da5p2
The second boot volume mirror device is showing up in the GUI as a potential NAS device, which is wrong. Where does the GUI View Disks get it's information? And, what kind of suggestions might folks have for fixing this?

My current best guess is that the GPT table on the da5 device is messed up, and if so, a possible fix would be to remove it from the boot pool mirror and wipe it clean with the GUI. But I don't want to break anything without really knowing what is going on. I am comfortable with the unix cli, and am happy to try any suggestions.

Thank you,
Paul Homchick

I see, the answer is in the subject.
You could try what you were thinking, as long as you have a valid boot device, the system should be fine.
If you have not already, you might want to backup your config db.
