so curveball my side.
I had 2 drives, /dev/sdd and /dev/sde that now and then throw errors (they each belong to different disk pools, running 3 way RAIDz1), they would normally clear themself and system just happily continues, nothing new on these 2 drives... was starting to think I need to buy some new drives and replace them...
Tonight, suddenly got an alert, drive thats never thrown errors failed, was removed by TrueNAS from the disk pool.
All my drives are Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD's...
so, ye, it seems i am immediately in for a new replacement drive... looking future planning, need to extend the space. do I replace with a 4TB drive... or a 9TB, knowing I will only use for now 4TB, with the idea to do some musical chairs on tis disk pool once all 3 HDD's are 8TB.
and then again, look left, expecting a problem at some point and something smacks you from the right where you did not expect it coming from.
