Hi, After Freenas finished it latest scrub I received an email reporting the pool was degraded, after a bit of diagnostics it would appear that one of the drives belonging to the pool seems to be failing, the S.M.A.R.T report seemed fine but the drive is still producing write errors. I've ordered a replacement drive which may not arrive till next week, my question is shall I remove the failing drive now leaving the pool active till then, or would it be safer to just disconnect both drives in the pool till the replacement arrives as if i have to I can make do without the data till then. I have never had to replace a drive in a pool before so I'm not aware of the best procedure, the pool contains two drives in raid mirrored configuration. Thanks
