I wanted to test, how my TrueNAS Server handels a spontaneous disk failure. For this scenario, I created a mirrored pool from 2 USB HDDs. I copied a file via SMB Share to the server. During the transfer, I unplugged one of the drives.
What happened?
The file transfer stopped after a few seconds, but TrueNAS GUI did not report any failure or whatsoever. It just showed everything is normal, pool status was ok. After a few minutes, the GUI just froze: I was not able to open Dashboard or the storage tab. Well, wtf? Is this supposed to be normal?
My setup is in my signature.
Edit: yeah, the server totaly crashed after i tried to reboot. The server still runs but i don't have any access via browser
Edit2: I had to force to shutdown the server (pressing 5 sec the power button) to be able to start the server again. After that, TrueNAS showed that my mirrored test pool was completely gone...
