Hi Guys,

It is a long read, and I will appreciate it if anyone can give me a hand.

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9
BIOS Versio: P89 v2.52 (10/25/2017)
2x CPU E5-2603 v3 @ 1.60GHz
256gb RAM
HPE Flexible Smart Array P440ar
8 SFF SAS 450GB 10,000rpm
3x LSI SAS 9207-8e, SFF8088 to 4x SATA
Pool 1: 1x vdev RAIDZ3
8x SATA 4TB 7500rpm
Pool 2: 3x vdev RAIDZ3 + 1 spare, each vdev have 5 drives
16x SATA 4TB 7500rpm
Running on TrueNAS 12 core.

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 from now on will be known as TrueNAS (version) Machine.

Pool 2, 3 of SATA drives became UNAVAIL in 1 of vdev. 1 of SATA drives became FAULTED (Too Many Errors) in another of the vdev. Made 4 SATA drives offline and shut down the TrueNAS U4 machine through the Web UI. I disconnected the 6x (SFF8088 to 4x SATA). Replace the 4 SATA drives with new drives. I started up the TrueNAS u4 machine without reconnecting 6x (SFF8088 to 4x SATA).

After TrueNAS boot screen:
da1: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE> GEOM: da1: the secondary GPT table is corrupt or invalid. GEOM: da1: using the primary only -- recovery suggested.

I upgraded from TrueNAS 12 u4 to TrueNAS 12 u5 (System > Upgrade > Download Updates > Install Manual Update File), seems to resolve the GPT table corruption issue. Rebooted using WebGUI a few times to ensure that the TrueNAS u5 machine had no GPT table corruption issue (Shell > dmesg).

I shut down the TrueNAS 12 u5 machine using TrueNAS Console, option 11. Reconnecting 6x (SFF8088 to 4x SATA). Which resulted at boot time: ZFS: out of temporary buffer space, before even going onto TrueNAS boot screen, and going into reboot.

Removed pool 2, made TrueNAS 12 u5 machine able to start up as usual.

These are the options I can think of:
  1. Should I reinstall TrueNAS 12
  2. Export pool 2 and reimport
What do you recommend? Thank you for any assistance.

No idea about that buffer space but.
HPE Flexible Smart Array P440ar - RAID controller - throw it away and replace with HBA in IT mode (if you are using it)
LSI SAS9207-8E x4, SFF8088 to 4x SATA - that has been flashed to IT mode hasn't it

Resolved. Pool 2 was moved to another computer. Pool replaced the HDD. Moved it back to TrueNAS 12 u5 machine and had no issue booting up.
