"Volume Status" missing in webgui? 9.2.1 and 9.3

[souporman]

Howdy. I have 2 FreeNAS set ups and both appear to be missing the "Volume Status" tab. I've uploaded screen shots of what I see when I click on "View Volumes" in both environments. I need to replace a disk and would like to use the web gui to do so... but I feel like I'm missing something. Sorry if this is a stupid question--I really did rtfm.

Volume status is a button at the bottom, not the top. Select your volume in the list and the buttons at the bottom will appear. Click the one that looks like a blank sheet of notebook paper.

Yep, I'm stupid. Wow, thank you.

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I experiencing the same issue, apart that the "volume status" never show up at the bottom. I even upgraded FreeNAS to 9.10 in the hope it would show up but it does not.

I know I could probably do this on the command line, but by searching intensively on the forum for an answer to this, I was led to believe that the GUI do not sync itself to the system, but rather the system is sync to the GUI/DB... in a nutshell, don't do it from the shell.

So, how can I detach a disk from a zpool through the GUI???

In the screencap, I would expect by selecting my volume to see a drop down of the disks attached to it.

Thank you.

PS. I'm attempting to offline/detach disks from a raidz1 pool and then attach/online/resilver bigger disks 1-by-1 and then resize the available space to 100%.

What version of FreeNAS are you currently running? And what's the output of zpool status?

 

[gorfou]

I recently upgraded to FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 (561f0d7a1)

Code:

# zpool status
  pool: freenas-boot
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

	   NAME		STATE	 READ WRITE CKSUM
	   freenas-boot  ONLINE	   0	 0	 0
		 vtbd0p2   ONLINE	   0	 0	 0

errors: No known data errors

Thanks for any hint you could provide.

So, other than the boot volume, you don't have a zpool. Which means your question has nothing whatsoever to do with this thread.

hmmm... Seem I made wrong assumptions here

Code:

# mount | grep /mnt/shares
/dev/ufs/shares on /mnt/shares (ufs, NFS exported, local, soft-updates, nfsv4acls)

I guess I can simply add my 3 drives as raidz1 and do a manual copy from /mnt/shares onto it.

 

[gorfou]

I thought that /mnt/shares disks was the pool but it's not. This is an old NAS that was setup pre version 8 and many time upgraded to the actual version on which, I guess, it has a different layout that cannot be fiddled with through the GUI.

Now the GUI gives me what is described in documentations as the screenshot show. Thanks for enlightening me.

 

[danb35]

ZFS has been available at least since version 8, but UFS was also (at least nominally) supported until 9.3. With the release of 9.3, official support for UFS was removed, but existing volumes still worked for a while--it's my understanding that all support has now been removed.

 

[gorfou]

In clear, I think I could have done the offline/replace/online/resilver the freenas-boot pool in the shell after all and it would have accomplish what I wanted without affecting the GUI presentation. Never the less, I will get rid of that UFS entry and create a distinct ZFS pool on its own raidz1 container for whatever shares are presented to the clients. It will make it clearer in the GUI.

Thank you very much danb35 for answering during the Super Bowl ;)
