I have a Pool made up of sets vdevs, each vdev is a RaidZ1 of 4 disks. I ran into some problems awhile back and had to replace a few disks that FreeNAS was telling were failing. I replaced the disk in a given vdev without removing the old disk immediately. Now the disks that I replaced show to good again and I don't know which ones FreeNAS wanted me to remove. That is the problem with the vdev that shows 7 disks in the attached screenshot.
The second problem is that I have a single vdev made up of 4 2tb hard drives that are now failing, but the failures are showing up in the log as shown in the second image but they don't seem to appear in the volume. The da3 the refers to appears to be the raidz1-2 vdev disk da3p2 which is a member of the previously mentioned 2tb array.
What I would like to do, in the absence of money to solve the problem by replacing the drives would be to remove that vdev completely in a manner that allows me to retain the volume without affecting the data. My available disk space would drop by 6tb or so which will not be a problem, as the system list 13.1TB available at the second volume level and 20.1 tb available at the top level.
For the first problem, I would like to find a way to identify which disks should be removed from that vdev so that it comes back down to 4 disks.
If anyone can help me that would be great. Even pointing me to documentation that so far has eluded my searches (yes I have looked, just not successfully) and it likely has a lot to do with the fact that I am not sure what I am looking for.
Thanks
