Hi,
this question seems like it should have a simple answer but I've looked through the manual and searched the forums and can't find one. So here goes:
I'm playing with my FreeNAS box to get the hang of it before I set it up 'for real', and last night I offlined one of the drives and pulled it to check how it worked. That part went fine, but now I want to put the same drive back into the machine. I tried using "replace" in the GUI and selecting the drive (ada2), but got the error message "/gptid/{UUID} is already a member of active pool Test_4DR".
Eventually I got it to go back in by doing a quick wipe of the removed drive and then using "replace" and letting it resilver, which is close enough to simulating a replacement with a new drive. But is there a way to do it without wiping the drive and pretending it's a new one?
