tj80 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Hi, I have a cache pool consisting of two SSDs and I think one of them is on the way out. The server is starting to freeze up and on reboot one of the SSDs is not always detected. This is a big problem as none of my VMs or dockers are working! Two questions: - Is there a way to temporarily start the server using the one good SSD until I obtain a new drive? If an array drive fails we can still start it but I cannot see a way to do that with the cache pool? - Is replacing the failed drive the same as if it were an array drive - ie. Just selecting it as the appropriate slot and letting it rebuild from the good drive? Many thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment

If it's a default raid1 pool you can just unassign the bad SSD and start the array, when you have a new one just add it to the pool. Quote Link to comment
tj80 Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Thanks. And is replacing a failed drive just a case of reallocating the slot to the new drive? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Assuming it's a raid1 pool yes. Quote Link to comment
tj80 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 I believe it is but confess I don't really understand the balance or scrub options? This is what it shows when both cache drives are working: Quote Link to comment
