Wondering if someone might be able to give me some advice on removing and then later replacing a drive in my FreeNAS setup.
I have 5 drives in ZFS2.
One of the drives is reporting a SMART error - 72 offline uncorrectable sectors.
In Volume Status the drive in questions has a status of 'null' (rather than 'ONLINE' like the others).
I'm going to return this drive to the manufacturer (Seagate) for replacement but will have to wait for a new one to arrive.
Before I remove the drive I wondered if anyone knows if I am able to continue using the server without it or should I leave it off until I receive a replacement?
What will happen if I turn it off, remove the drive, and power back on without a replacement drive in it's place? Will this have any impact on my data? Would I then be OK to power off and install the replacement drive at a later date?
