Unable to replace hard drive

[gokhotit]

Hello all,

I have a serious problem going on with FreeNAS 11.1. I have a dying hard drive that I am trying to replace. However, whenever I try to offline the hard drive it gives the no valid replica error:

Code:

Ok fine, I will then detach the pool,erase, swap the drive, rebuild and start over. I have good backups not a problem.

NO, not going to happen. I get a device busy error

The files are no longer accessible over the network, and I still have to replace this dying hard drive. Anyone know what is going on? What can I do?

Thank you in advance for any and all help with this matter.

However, whenever I try to offline the hard drive it gives the no valid replica error:

Sounds like you need to post the output of zpool status.

Wound up wiping the entire thing and starting over. Wiped Freenas to factory settings, replaced drive, rebuilt everything back up, and I am now good as new.
