December 14, 2025Dec 14 I have a failing zfs formatted array drive (disk2, 2TB) based on rapidly growing unallocated sectors. Under the presumption that the parity record for this drive is better than the drive itself, I unallocated Drive 2 hoping to use mover to empty disk2 onto the array, in which there is plenty of room. Then I saw in the 7.2 I saw that the empty drive utility is now moved to Global Disk Settings, and an empty disk settings. But I can't select Disk2 for this since it's not in the array anymore.When the contents of a drive are emulated (which will happen when I activate the array) is there a way to get an emulated drive copied elsewhere on the array? Once this happens I'm prepared to make a new config without this drive.ThanksDennis(warnings:Warning [TOWER] - reallocated sector ct is 5912Warning [TOWER] - reported uncorrect is 115Warning [TOWER] - current pending sector is 56Warning [TOWER] - offline uncorrectable is 56All within a few minutes
December 14, 2025Dec 14 Author OK, maybe answering my own question, I realize I can rsync /mnt/disk2/ to /mnt/disk5/rsync -aP --remove-source-files /mnt/disk2/ /mnt/disk5/
