Howdy All - first post.
Have a FreeNAS box. Was 8.03. UFS RAID5/Stripe Set with 4 X 3TB drives.
One drive is FAILING reporting controller timeouts and SMART realloc errors on console.
I upgraded the box to 8.2 RELEASE yesterday, before attempting to REPLACE the failing drive by: removing drive from View Discs, replacing drive, adding drive to RAID5/stripe set.
Subsequent to doing an "in place upgrade" (i.e.: using ISO/Disc to upgrade the 8.03 on the existing flash/boot) I can no longer access the VIEW DISC tab - it comes up BLANK. The "Active Volumes" Tab still shows the array as "healthy" despite the failing drive.
So at this point, I cannot REMOVE the failing disc to replace it.
So, my problem is TWO-FOLD.
A - replacing the failing disc and allowing the array to rebuild (hopefully without loss of EXISTING DATA - which I can SEE when browsing from a Windows Box on the LAN, but cannot COPY OFF the NAS).
B - Fixing the Web Console so the Storage tabs function again.
Are there TTY CONSOLE COMMANDS to remove and replace the failing disc, then allow the degraded array to rebuild?
I'm pretty sure this is NOT A ZFS array, as the ZFS Status commands on the console, say there IS NO array.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Regards,
Rick Stern
