Hi,
I have FreeNAS-9.2.1.7-RELEASE-x64 running on a n40l microserver (no hot swap).
I have all four bays (0 through 3) populated with 2Tb drives, and the drive in bay 3 is showing SMART errors. I have a replacement drive already purchased and I'm looking to install it.
Following the 9.2.1 User's Guide, I attempt to offline the erroring drive, but the GUI just returns to the previous screen without change. I have a tail -f /var/log/messages running in an adjacent ssh sessions and I see the following;
The User's Guide mentions the "no valid replicas" error and informs that running a scrub should correct this issue. I have a 14 day scrub schedule in place which completed a few days ago, but I ran another one anyway. It did not correct the problem.
Can anybody provide assistance as to how I can offline the drive and replace it?
Would powering the box down and replacing the drive without offlining it seriously damage the pool?
Thanks for your help!
Andy.
