Hi there,
We have 4 Avid unity chassis which we don't use any more...luckily for me it can all serve as spare parts for my music server.
I was one week on vacation and when returned to work I noticed 3 orange lights on the enclosure.
I thought I lost my data and zpool for sure because I had raidz..
So I pulled them out and took 3 other drives from another enclosure and rebooted....
Sure enough it seems the same disks where in error grrrr
So it must be the controller....
First problem the disks weren't labelled
glabel status gives me gptid but I have no clue howto bind that to a serial which is on the disk itself.
and gives me serial numbers but again I'm not sure where they are on the enclosure.
Is it normal that this info doesn't change when replacing one hard drive with another ? I did this again. and
but nothing changed. I expected to find a new serial number.
When I rebooted with the (original) drives in the (wright/wrong) slot the zpool was degraded, but available. I have no clue if I put drive 11 in slot 11 or 12 or 13 my mistake. I am even not 100% sure I put in the original disks.
Tomorow I try to learn more from gpart
In essence is it important to put the disk back in at the original place or is zfs intelligent enough to now and recognise the disk ?
How can I be certain If 1 of 6 disk I used to correct the problem belonged to the original pool?
Kind regards
