Hey all, I'm asking for some grace on this, I normally wear a NetApp hat and FreeNAS is a little new to me.
As an experiment I set up a FreeNAS box with 2x 500gb drives (zfs, mirrored) and 1x 60gb SSD. FreeNAS is installed on. A USB stick.
I had the SSD set up as a cache drive and things were working well. The whole system was setup as an iSCSI device serving an Esxi host.
Now for the bad news, since my test was successful I destroyed the volume (marked disk as new) and removed the 500gb drives. I then installed my 2x 2tb drives that I intended to use for serving data. Once again, I mirrored the drives, however the SSD no longer shows up in volume manager. If I click - "view disks" I can see the drive (it shows up at ada0).
I also checked the shell but there appears to be a disconnect between the shell and the GUI, so I'm not sure which ones better. Running a diskinfo does show all the drives.
Do I need to kick that drive out and bring it back in somehow?
Side note, I was using full disk encryption.
Thanks again,
Mark
