Morning,
As I had several occasions of the infamous messages "Boot pool status is ONLINE: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected.. " I would like to replace to the faulting USB disk, but I am sure both are somehow not healthy anymore. I have two (see below) identical USB disks, that I want to replace. After reading https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.3-U3.2/system.html#os-device-mirroring
and searching in this forum, lots of topics are created for replacing disks. I read quite a few, but it's too much for reading them all :).
I think I know how to proceed, but just want a double check. At the moment:
because I cleared the errors.
I buy two new USB disks with a size bigger than the current, I create a backup via "Save configuration", I put one the FreeNAS box and in the GUI via System, Boot, Actions, Boot Pool Status I replace one of the 2 USB disks. With "zpool status -x" on the CLI I follow the resilvering process. After the resilvering finished, I do these steps again and replace the second faulty / suspected USB disk. Then I remove the two old USB disks. No reboot needed in all these steps, correct?
Thanks for responding!
I am running
