Using FreeNAS 8.0.2
We have a server that has 4x2TB drives in it in a ZFS array in a mirrored array resulting in 4TB of storage. After being gone for about a week and starting it up again, we were presented with a flashing Red light telling us the volume was degraded. I found the offending disk (ada0) and pulled it in order to error check it in another computer before ruling the disk as the problem. The disk was 100% clean.
I totally wiped the disk and re-formatted it. After that I added it back into the array by creating a new volume and naming that volume the exact name as the volume we use. I added it to the array, but is now showing that the volume has 5 disks instead of 4 and that disk ada0 is still missing/degraded.
I attempted to remove the disk while shut down and restart it, it doesn't boot into the screen with the IP address. So I plugged the disk back up and now the server won't get pass a section of the start-up with grey text instead of white, and it's talking about:
Entropy Harvesting: kickstart
Starting file systen checks:
/dev/ufs/...
Mounting local file systems
What can/should I do?
