Disk Failing in RAID Array; Best path forward?

[cfm56]

Friends,

I'm a bit new to FreeNAS having built out a Dell R510 Server with (4) 3TB SATA drives, running FreeNAS-9.10.2-U3 (e1497f269). To the best of my recollection, I setup 4 drives in a striped mirror, or maybe on a Z pool....not real sure, been awhile, not even sure what the difference is. (Yes, I know, insert <rant> about not fully understanding this tech before rolling it out, or not RTFM, shame on me.....etc</rant>) Problem is that now one of my drives are failing (da3). If I remember right, I setup 2 of the 3TB drives for storage and the other two the mirrors....so that if one drive started acting up I could swap it out. That's where I'm at now.


(See attached Screenshots)

1. First can any of you tell what I did with my disks here? How they're set up from these screens, I don't recall or know how to tell?
2. Second, can anyone tell if I can just swap in a new disk? Or what is the best process forward here?

Happy to provide any extra needed info...


Thanks in advance
Shane

@m0nkey_ has already given the link for how to replaced a failed drive; even though his link is for FreeNAS 11, the procedure is the same with the 9.10 series. To determine how you configured your pool, on the Volumes page, click on the first entry for Files, then click the Volume Status button at the bottom (looks like a blank sheet of notebook paper).

Thanks @m0nkey_ That worked perfectly. @danb35 also....
