August 2, 20241 yr Just a quick question for clarity. I have two raidz1 pools of 5 drives each. Today I brought the server down (power off) for matainance but when I brought it back up, the array didn't start on its own because one of the sas drives in the 5-drive "saspool" had failed. I was presented with the option to click a check-box to start the array without the missing drive, in a degraded state of course. I guess my though was that the array would have started by itself, in the degraded mode, but It seems that this is an incorrect assumption? Its not a huge deal, the drive is being replace but I was just caught off guard. I've attached my diagnostics for the curious. cortex-diagnostics-20240801-2326.zip
