One of the hard drives in my array (4x 3TB, which makes a 9TB zfs volume) has failed. It clicks when I turn it on, which sounds like an attempt to start the disks, but fail, and therefore do not get detected in BIOS.
I've tried to follow the Replacing a Failed Drive tutorial on the FreeNAS site, but I don't think it's updated for 9.2.1.5, or the GUI acts differently when one of the disks is offline. It says to set the drive status to offline, or if not available, click the "Replace" button. I don't see anywhere where it lists the fourth drive, so I can't replace it or anything.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like in the "View Volumes" section of the GUI. I can't do anything other than detach volume "Stuff". If I click "View Disks" it will only show the three disks that are connected as per screenshot. I already have the drive to replace it with, but I don't want to mess something up, so I want to ask you guys first.
Do you guys know what to do replace a failed hard drive? Can I get my volume back? I'm just not sure where to start. I've searched the forums but I can't seem to find someone with the same issue, or I don't know exactly what to search. This is just a personal file server, therefore it's not *too* much of an issue if I lose the whole volume, but obviously I would be upset if I couldn't get it back up and running.
When I run zpool import, Volume Stuff will only list the online drives and not the offline one.
As a followup question, once I get the array up and running again, is there a way to increase the life of my disks? I'm running 4x Seagate Barracuda 3TBs (ST3000DM001), so not using the WD Greens or anything, but this disk only lasted about 1.5 years, so I'm curious if there's anything I can do to not make it die so quickly..
