RaidZ2 degraded

[SLIMaxPower]

I have a 10 disk raidZ2. One drive ( /dev/ada6) in the gui showed an offline uncorrectbale sectors.

So 2 drive parity should I just offline the bad drive ? and replace with a new drive when i get one ?

No need to offline the disk before you get the new one, unless you have to RMA the old disk to get the replacement. Otherwise, get the replacement, offline the bad disk, install the new disk, and replace following the manual's instructions.

Be sure to follow the manual carefully.

Also be sure to match up the drive serial number from the error message to the one you pull. People do make mistakes. And turn off the system when you do the drive swap, never do a hot swap if you can help it.
