Hi all,
i got an old dell t720 server that ive used as a storage server running truenas, in the past i raided the drives raid 1 C raid 5 storages and had a drive failure, when attempting to swap out the failed disk it caused massive complications, so i lost all my data and went back to the drawing board, i upgraded it to SSD 1tb disks running i think raidz.
my question is, if a disk fails and i need to replace it, i have to go into the raid controller swap it out there and then its seen as bogus in truenas.... in short, is there a way to set this up that i dont have to loose everything should a disk fail ?
not all of us are loaded with cash, so we take the best we can find and try make the most out of it with the help / mercy of devs like you. is there a proceedure to swap failed drives out that are within a BIOS managed config or is that something you gents will consider building into this in the future ? cause i think a feature where a new disk could be added to a raid, and then just merged into the ZFS pool and rebuilt would be extreamly useful to guys like me running old ass servers.
Kindest regards
