Hi All,
I am currently testing a FreeNAS 8.0.3 setup before putting live data on the disks.
The box is an ML115 with 2gb ram booting from a usb memory stick. It has 4 x 2TB WD Greed drives on the first 4 SATA ports.
Whilst testing I created a raidZ array with 3 x 2TB drives, giving a 3.6TB volume. To test the disk replacement procedure I pulled the SATA connector from one of the drives fully expecting this to throw the volume into a degraded state. The Console has shown that the disk has been lost but the GUI doesn't seem to know anything about it.
When I goto view disks from the all volumes view it shows the disk without a name(? dev) or serial number. If I try to look at the zpool status I get a "sorry, an error occurred" message.
So, I have a couple of questions,
1/ Should the GUI notice that this disk has dropped off, Does anyone know why it would not show up
2/ If not, why. Surely a disk that just disappears is a cause for concern and would need an admin to be alerted.
