I've replaced my failing Seagate drive with a new WD Red but when I try and replace the new drive into the pool I can't find any member disk?
Followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YmPg_uP08w and also this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8bvtj-LQ_A
What I've done so far:
1) Change status of the bad drive from online to offline
2) Shut down machine
3) Physically change the drives, hate my choice of case right now but do love that it's so tiny.
4) Boot up again
5) Get into the freenas webui
6) Go to view volume -> status
7) I mark the new disk (got random numbers instead of adaXp2 as the other ones) and hit "replace" but the drop down menu for member drives is empty so I can't replace the bad drive?
I'm totally stuck and don't know what to do right now.
I'm using all 6 sata ports on the mb and the guide shows that they don't need to be connected at the same time?
Am running raidz2
MB: MSI B75MA-P45
CPU: i5 2320
32GB ddr 3 non ecc
Seagate Barracuda 4x2tb
WD Red 2x2tb
edit update: found out through https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/how-can-you-tell-if-a-zpool-is-encrypted.56213/ and some other forum posts that the pool is encrypted and I've not been using the key for ~2 years and have no clue to what passcode I've on it so I'll have to re-install it and copy all data from an up to date backup.
