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
