Web GUI - Zpool replace error

[Ryanolo]

I've been trying to follow this to no luck:
http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_storage.html#replacing-a-failed-drive

Process so far:
Disk 1(bad) - offlined in GUI
Disk 1(bad) - hardware removed
Disk 1(new) - hardware inserted
GUI 'replace' disk

When I then attempt to 'replace' the disk via the GUI I get:
http://imgur.com/ec7WiQS
its failing to detect any member disks

I've tried to run the command line versions (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gbcet/):
zpool online Volume1 12310821014777219007
zpool replace Volume1 12310821014777219007
cannot open '12310821014777219007': no such GEOM provider

So I then tried running (no luck):
glabel label ada1p2 /dev/ada1


1. Is there Freenas documentation on doing a zpool disk replace (command-line) version
2. Is there something obvious I've done wrong here.


I'm a little out my depth here, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Is your new disk recognized by freenas? Try camcontrol devlist

Looks like you have an encrypted pool. The drive replacement process is different.

I swapped out /dev/ada1 & yes, heres the output:

Looks like you have an encrypted pool. The drive replacement process is different.

It is encrypted, is it not recommended if I need to resilver disks?

The complications that come with encryption are such that it's best avoided if possible.

In the case of replacing a failed disk, there are extra steps: http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_storage.html#replacing-an-encrypted-drive

Last I heard encryption was not going to be supported in FreeNas 10... That was a while ago though, so I am not sure if that has changed? If it still is the case, you may want to consider getting away from encryption now...

 

[Mr_N]

It will be in FreeNas 10, and there's no need to avoid any replacement situations as long as you follow the steps in the guide specific to encrypted pools...

Well then someone aught to update the "What's New in 10" thread, cuz that is not the feeling I got... :D

Support for volume encryption has been removed. This means that you can not create or import an encrypted volume.

I doubt it will make RELEASE. The plan is to redesign it so it is easier to use and less flaky. The current use case only helps if you are planning on discarding drives with sensitive data without wiping them or fear that the unit will be stolen. If that's not your use case, I'd recommend holding off on encryption for now.

Yup, that's definitely an upstream (OpenZFS) feature request. If it is ever implemented, both FreeNAS and FreeBSD would get it as they use OpenZFS (as well as any other OpenZFS-using platforms). It's on their radar, but I'm not aware of anyone starting the code for it...

I moved that thread as it applied to a now-defunct BETA. I'll make a new one once we get a real BETA to apply it to.

 

[Mirfster]

Ahh... So does that mean there will be encryption in FreeNas 10 or is that still dependent on OpenZFS?

 

[dlavigne]

It will still be OpenZFS and we are testing a new workflow for encryption. Not sure if it will be ready for BETA or not.
