I have a total of nine 2TB Seagate drives (two different models) in two iStarUSA BPU-350SATA drive cages.
One drive is connected to a motherboard SATA port. The other eight are connected to an M1015 that has been flashed to IT mode with Phase 16 firmware.
FreeNAS version is 8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x64.
I have just discovered that if I power down a drive connected to the M1015, FreeNAS detects that the drive has been disconnected but does not "find" it again when I power it up again. But it does find it if I plug it into a different slot -- or if I first plug a different drive into that first slot and then replace that by the original drive.
Is this how it is supposed to work? What if I did not have an empty slot or a spare drive? Is this a bug?
