Hi All,
I had a USB drive in my boot mirror fail several weeks ago. I ordered some new drives (SanDisk Cruzer Fit CZ33 16GB, same as what I'm already using) so I had another backup if necessary. After I replaced the failed drive, and it copied all the files over, I see the following in the log:
This is what zpool status shows:
I cannot boot the system using the new USB drive by itself. I tried that just to test in case the other original drive fails in the future. Am I doing something incorrect when I replace the drive to cause this? I've replaced HDDs in FreeNAS before without issue. Is this just a weird issue, and I should reinstall, then restore from backup?
Another thread with a similar issue is here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/is-my-boot-pool-mirror-ok.26399/
I'm currently on the latest version of FreeNAS 11.0-U4, but when the issue started I was on 11.0. I had updated hoping it would possibly resolve my issue.
If I need to reinstall, and restore from backup, is it recommended to use UEFI or BIOS on a Supermicro server board that supports both?
Best Regards
