Please don't laugh... I don't know which drive to change. But first, info...

I'm running an HP Micro Server with 4 x 2 TB Seagate drives in RAID 5 (I think - it's been a while since I set it up). FreeNAS v9.2.1.2.

One of the drives has apparently failed. I see these drives:

ada0
ada1
ada2

But I don't know which they are physically in the server.

The failed drive is not showing up at all in any of the web interface.

I checked the documentation, but I don't see any way to tell me which drive I need to remove.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

If you go to the Storage >Volumes>View Disks tab in the GUI, it will list the disks with S/N. Then you can down the box & pull the physical drive with the S/N not listed. Hope this helps.

Thanks. That's what I figured, but really didn't know as there was nothing in the docs. Thanks for that!
