Hi,
I am running TrueNAS 12 on a Mini ATX case PC with an Intel 5 series/3400 chipset SATA controller and a 4 disk RAIDZ1 pool. The disks SATA 5400RPM 2TB and are mounted internally not in hot-swap trays.
I am showing a disk with uncorrectable errors and the pool is also running low on space and a combination of these two factors is making it the pool Critical state.
I have just acquired new disks - Seagate Exos 8TB SATA 7200RPM and wish to replace these disks while at the same time extending the pool to use the additional space.
It is my belief that the chipset supports hot-plugging SATA and therefore I should be able to carry out each disk replacement with a larger disk without shutting down.
Can anyone advise what the process should be to:
1) Identify and remove one disk at a time from the pool beginning with the failing disk
2) Physically remove the disk - SATA plug or power plug first?
3) Install the new disk? Again which order of cable plugging?
4) Extend the volume to take up the new free space available
Any help appreciated.
