Unable to replace disk for ZFS Mirror

[MyLittlePWNie5]

You're right, it did have a gptid, and it was a long name. Is there away to rename disks without causing problems? How does it name itself without my consent?

/noob speaking, correct me if I'm wrong

I would say it's a gptid but that doesn't look right.

It's not a gptid. It's the ZFS ID, hardware/path agnostic, for that device.

Glad you got the drive reattached!

Here's some more info on renaming drives. In short, don't try to change the names: Thread: Disable gpt/gptid labels

Ahh ok. That makes some sense. I remember reading that it doesn't go by ada0/ada1/etc anymore because FreeNAS names it that way based on which drives it detects first. How did it assign the ZFS IDs? Does it auto-generate a random ID/number, or was it done somewhere and asked me without me knowing?

Glad you got the drive reattached!

Thanks! I appreciate all the help, and I'll give it a read.

I am having exactly the same problem and no matter what I try I cannot get the normal state again even if the drive which was detached (and in mirror with a one which was connected) where empty. This mirror is part of a volume with 2 other mirror drives where I had data on. Any help would be really greatly appreciated. ThanX

Are you using the same version of FreeNAS and did what I did to cause the problem?
