Problems removing failed drives (9.10)

[GeoffAk]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of a crisis with my FreeNAS setup. I've been trying to replace 2 failing (failed?) drives with the "Replace" option in the GUI, but they still still show up as "Unavailable". Additionally, the pool is constantly resilvering on startup. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

How do I stop my pool from resilvering all the time?

Code:

[root@fileserver ~]# zpool status alpha                                                                                             
  pool: alpha                                                                                                                       
 state: DEGRADED                                                                                                                   
status: One or more devices is currently being resilvered.  The pool will                                                           
        continue to function, possibly in a degraded state.                                                                         
action: Wait for the resilver to complete.

Sorry, to tell you, but it looks like you pool is lost. If I see it correctly you pool is a raidz1, which means you only have one disc redundancy.
Two failed discs can't be replaced.

Thanks for the reply. Only one of the drives was truly failing. The second one was just throwing off SMART errors. I replaced them one at a time to give time to resilver.

Unfortunately, the drives I replaced them with were throwing off SMART errors as well, so I replaced those too (one at a time, as before). Now my pool is filled with “unavailable” disks as you can see. I feel like I missed a step in the manual.

I’m still able to access my data.
