- Minor
I had a disk failure on my ZFS array and tried to do the following to replace it:
Procedure if you can have both the old and new devices connected at the same time:
stop the array
on the main page click on the pool device you want to replace/upgrade and select the new one from the drop down list (any data on the new device will be deleted)
start the array
a 'zpool replace' will begin and the new device will be resilvered
progress can be seen by clicking on the first pool device and scrolling down to “pool status”
when done again check "pool status" page to confirm everything looks good
Unfortunately when I try to select the new drive the gui switches back to the failed drive and I am unable to re-open the select down menu. I figure it was just a visual bug but when I try to click start array nothing happens. Same if I select no device. I ended up having to shut down the array and physically removed the drive in order for the GUI to allow for a replacement of the drive. I know there was a visual bug when selecting the type of parity for a ZFS array and I wonder if this is somehow related.
