Hi,
I'm running TrueNAS-12.0-U8 and want to swap a disk in my 2-disk mirror pool (called pool0). But I'm unsure how to do it.
Is it as easy as going to Storage / Pools / Pool Status in the GUI, clicking the three vertical dots to the right in the MIRROR row under pool0, selecting Extend to get the Extend Vdev pop-up dialog, selecting a new fresh disk I've installed in the NAS (and spent the past >10 days running SMART tests and badblocks on) from the drop-down menu, and then clicking the blue EXTEND button and the (re)silvering will start?
And then, when the new disk is part of the vdev, can I just go to Storage / Pools / Pool Status in the GUI, click the three vertical dots to the right of the disk I want to remove, and select... what? Detach? Or Offline? I'm thinking Detach but I'm unsure.
I'm not used to the TrueNAS terminology, I've just used FreeNAS/TrueNAS for the past 8 years and it's mostly been working so well that I haven't had to dig into it and learn the details. Unfortunately (or not).
