Hi, I'm running a 9.2.1.1 freenas, with 3x2tB HD. One of them failed completely and wasn't even seen by the bios, or by a linux computer nor by the Seagate diag tool. Freenas complains that it's in a degraded mode (i still have my datas, so everything is still ok).

Now i want to replace the dead disk. I've shut donw freenas, remove the faulty drive and replaced it with a same brand (seagate) same size (2tB) HD. From ssh, i can show the zpool status :

pool: Vol0
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be opened. Sufficient replicas exist for
the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.

The volume Vol0 is degarded (that we already know), the third line show the third disk that is unavailable. I need to add the new third disk (the one that works), remove the unavailable disk from the pool, and resilver the whole thing.

My problem is that i can't offline the unavailable hd (or may be i don't do things right : zpool offline Vol0 /dev/gptid/21bf9aaa-3b74-11e1-bfab-001aa098871c), and i don't get how to add the new HD (that is seen as ada2 from the gui view).

I have several tutos in my bookmarks, such as http://dcprom0.blogspot.fr/2013/09/freenas-replacing-failed-disk.html, but i'm not completely easy with it...
Can someone give me a push ?

Best regards

Check out the manual for direction on replacing the drive.. doc.freenas.org. ;)

If you follow it step-by-step then all will be fine. In your case, the disk is already offlined, so you don't need to worry about offlining the disk.

Sorry for the noise, my disk is now offline, and a replacement is running now, resilvering... so i guess i don't have problems anymore...

I've just saw your answer cyberjok... thanks for the tip... I actually haven't gone deep enough in the tuto.. so it's my mistake... ;)

regards
