Hi,
I have degraded pool because of one failing drive, in a ZFS mirrored pool, which is encrypted. I run Freenas 11.3-U5. I was following the documentation, where it states you should reset encryption keys and set a passphrase before replacing a drive in an encrypted pool. This operation fails though, because I have system dataset on the pool, so no passphrase is allowed. How should I replace the drive than?
I’ve found this post: https://www.truenas.com/community/t...to-replace-a-disk-of-an-encrypted-pool.85369/
is it still valid for 11.3-U5, may I ignore the passphrase?
Than another question is: I have an encrypted mirror of 2 disks, one is failing, but still partially works, it gives unrecoverable errors though. Would it be possible to attach 3rd drive to that pool, to mirror that healthy drive to a new one while still keep the failing one. When the resilver is done I would than RMA the failed disk and when I get a new one instead I would than replace it. This way I could get double parity, by having 3data copies. Is it supported? I haven’t found that option in GUI, but on another BSD system I did something like this by The pool was not encrypted though, so I don’t know if any additional steps are needed...
Thanks for helping me...
