I am running TrueNAS 12.0 U6.1, and have a faulty disk on the pool (obviously it is due to old age of the disk, the s.m.a.r.t keep reporting increased relocated sectors).
What I want to do is to bring the disk offline and then wipe it, such that after days when the replaced disk comes I can just swap quickly without wiping.
However the TrueNAS GUI does not allow me to do this without reboot. Is that normal? I am wondering it that a GUI bug or I miss something on my side.
Details: When the disk becomes faulty, the pool will become degraded. Then Go to Storage->Pool->pool status, the disk will show "faulty", the option on the disk has both "online" and "offline" available to choose. I choose "offline", nothing happens, no error, and the pool status still show "faulty" on the disk. Then I go to Storage-> Disks, the faulty disk does not have the "wipe" option. To wipe, I have to reboot my computer, and this time the disk shows as "offline" and the "wipe" option is there.
Thanks!
