Hi all,
I have been creating my freenas server from old drives and the other day I added two 3tb drives I had lying around to an existing volume.
All my volumes are raid 0 as all the data is backed up so space is the main priority for me.
Anyway I am now getting warnings regarding one of the disks such as /dev/ada1, 104 Offline uncorrectable sectors, at this stage it is unlikely that data has been added to the offending drive and as the error states the disk is offline is there a way I can remove it without having to replace it with another 3tb drive? I have plenty of 1 or 2tb drives, could I replace it with one of those without doing any damage.
Finally if I simply disconnect it will I lose the full volume. I have tried searching for answers but no-one seems to be running the volume as a simple stripe without redundancy.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice provided.
