Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of doing now, backup everything important just in case and continue to work on it.

Thankfully I can identify any disk rather easily with the command you mentioned (used it before to grab a drives serial number which is printed on the drive its self).

Is it possible to replace a disk with the same disk? Like effectively wiping a disk and replacing it with its self so I don’t have to use up my spare drives as rotation drives and add needless wear to them?

I made sure to replace the dead drive with the exact same drive as the rest. All of them are Seagate 7200rpm 3tb SAS drives.

The number you’re talking about is in reference to the old disk. I had swapped out the old drive and when I tried to run the command

Pool replace pool device [new_device]

It yelled at me that I needed to reference the old drive as well? So I’m not sure why it didn’t work the way you said it should

I use to have it on a LSI raid card a long time ago before switching to a hba card. I had each drive passed through the lsi card as a single disk raid and then I used zfs to create a pool. I’m guessing this is what caused this now that I think about it.

I have like 9tb on this pool so moving everything off of it and then redoing the pool would be currently impossible so I wonder how I would fix this? Replace one drive at a time with some of my spares and swap them around?

I appreciate all of the comments everyone! Thank you all!

I’ll probably end up going with a EATON or APC, most likely refurbished to save some money.

If anyone has any websites they want to share of wholesalers that sell old office stuff within Canada, that would be amazing!

This is the kind of comment I was looking for!! Thank you good sir! I was hoping someone would have a link to a website that sells ups in Canada for a reasonable price!

Cheers!

I think my cost is around $0.28 so I feel your pain man.
