XigmaNAS

I replaced a drive that was going bad. The pool showed degraded and it took the drive offline.
I brought down NAS4Free and removed the old drive and put in a new one. Restarted the OS and the new drive showed online. I did a replace on the drive using the GUI and it ran for about 17 hours. After it completed I got the following:
I tried to do a number of things like: zpool replace DataPool ada4, resynching the configuration etc... but nothing seems to have any effect. The pool is operating and I can access it but I cannot seem to get this drive hooked up to the pool correctly. Can I redo it? Maybe take the dive off and retry it? Did I do something wrong hooking it up? I've read through dozens of other posts but I cannot seem to get this right.

Thanks for any help.

Hi
Try zpool detach DataPool 10273301531983452669

Use instead of 10273301531983452669 similar digits from you setup (try both)

If you are lucky enough it helps. I have similar situation and there is add info in my blog (use Google translate to translate from Russian, but please note, tahat translator tends to corrupt unix commands - see original for commands)

Thanks for the info.

OK, I tried detach and it seemd to work. After that I was able to run replace and it showed resilver in progress. After 15 hours it finished and I am no closer than I was before.

Now info shows resilver complete but no drive attached to the pool. In addition I took a look at the drives menu. Heres what it shows. Notice I have two missing drives? Where did these come from?? This system ran for almost 4 years without a hiccup till the drive started going bad. I figured no problem, replace the drive and we're good. Ha stupid me! Setting up and runninf zfs wasn't too bad but replacing a drive is almost an impossibility! Unless I can figure this out soon, I'm gonna hafta build another system and copy it over (not using zfs this time) before another drive goes bad. I've spent almost a week working on this and nothing seems to work. Getting frustrated. Why is something so simple, so complicated?
