March 4, 20251 yr When I was replacing a drive in my cache pool during the replacement process bombed out with a error something along the lines of "nvme0n1 device busy" during the process. Due to this, the drive is missing from the BTRFS pool, but Unraid doesn't seem to have noticed that, can I can't find a way to re-trigger the drive replacement process. I was thinking about just moving the data back onto the old drives in a separate new pool, then deleting the current cache pool and then re-creating the cache pool and move the data back onto it, but I thought that I should probably ask for advice first. I'm really not sure about what to do next, any advice would be appreciated.

I've still have the two old drives, would it make sense to just move all the data onto a new pool, then recreate the existing cache pool?
