Hi, I am not incredibly familiar with NAS and ZFS so please forgive this, probably, very simple question. I am using FreeNAS (FreeNAS-11.3-U4.1) on some old hardware I had laying around. My raidz2 pool has 1 spare configured. A couple of the disks on the pool went offline because of read errors and FreeNAS automatically brought the spare online. I resolved the read errors and brought the offline disks back online, then scrubbed the pool. note: I am only using the FreeNAS web interface. After the pool status returned to finished (with 0 errors) I expected the spare to automatically return to being a spare. To my surprise it has remained online. I guess I need to do something manually. Can anyone advise how I can get the spare to be a spare again?
