USB boot issues

[ChiknNutz]

This morning I rec'd a message about the boot volume being degraded. I have two devices mirrored. I have had this issue a couple time past, and sometimes a reboot or scrub is all that is needed. Not this time, so I detached the degraded one and attempted to reattach it. Now the systems says it doesn't have enough room to mirror it?! Huh? it is the exact same device that was just plugged in. Okay, so tried to reformat the bad one and reattach, same message. Okay, I have a brand new EXACT same replacement USB drive...same error message. What the heck? I mean they are all identical 16GB USB flash drives.

This is super annoying, any ideas? I've tried this several times and not sure what to do to rectify it.

You should raise a bug report.
