I have two identical 3TB drives in a USB-enclosure. From console gpart shows both disks
root@freenas1:~ # gpart show da3
=> 6 732566635 da3 GPT (2.7T)
6 122 - free - (488K)
128 4194304 1 freebsd-swap (16G)
4194432 728372209 2 freebsd-zfs (2.7T)
root@freenas1:~ # gpart show da0
=> 6 732566631 da0 GPT (2.7T)
6 122 - free - (488K)
128 4194304 1 freebsd-swap (16G)
4194432 728372205 2 freebsd-zfs (2.7T)
My problem: Yesterday I managed to connect both drives, format them as GPT with freebsd-ufs and run replication task on them. Today I can only see one of the two drives from GUI in section of disks. When I try to run the replication task on the affected drive system reports that drive is suspended. When I ssh to FreeNAS and try to access mnt/backup3 (this is the path of the drive), the session hangs.
Where would I look for the problem first? I remember that I had similar problems when attaching external USB on my Windows computer that after some time of attaching/removing the OS stopped mounting the drive. I then had to remove all dead USB-entries to get it work again.
Also I suspect that if the external USB-drive goes in sleep mode (I suspect that the SATA-USB3-Interface does this without me being able to disable it) that could cause this problem.
Edit: After I sent this post I connected the affected drive to my Windows computer and on the USB3-port it was not detected. When I connected it to USB2-port, I can access the disk (with MiniPartition Tool) to see it is healthy. So that confirms my suspicion that there could be compatibility problems when using SATA-drives with SATA-to-USB3-interface.
