For the past 10-11 mounts I had a good luck with HDD but it seems that I run out of god luck. After updating one of the server which run TrueOS 10.0.3 to 10.1 I noticed smartd message about unavailable HDD. This is what I found

Code:
[root@backup1] /var/log# zpool status
  pool: storage
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
        invalid.  Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
        functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

Am I hallucinating or this is a failed HDD? I was confused at first because "the device was marked off line by a system admin" message. I am sure I have not marked device off line. After trying to bring device on-line I got the above. Old smartd test on that HDD look OK but the drive is indeed old. Should I just replace HDD with the new one?

Um this is the FreeNAS forums not trueOS, you should ask in that forum. But yes it looks like you have a HDD failure and you should check smart data and probably replace it.

I know I am not stupid but PC-BSD/TrueOS forums look dead to me. The only two serious sections System Administration and Jails are not frequented by any serious person. I am running both FreeNAS and TrueOS in production and iXSystems configuration files look very similar on TrueOS and FreeNAS. Cross pollination is obvious even though that TrueOS is not embedded appliance unlike FreeNAS. It doesn't hurt to ask people who actually know what they are talking about.

trueOS/trueNAS or whatever it's called is the commercial version from ixSystems of the FreeNAS software. As far as I know, you pay for support for that, and it is targeted to commercial customers. Am I mistaken? I am sure if you are a paying commercial customer you must have some kind of support agreement.

TrueOS is the server version of PC-BSD. It is a free not commercial product :)

You might want to try replacing the SATA cable before writing off the disk completely. Also, have you run SMART tests recently?

I don't want to take any chances with our data. Thanks everyone for the input. Yes I do run regular SMART tests on all my servers and scrub pools :)
