[SOLVED] Removing log disk

[jofa]

Hi all,

I currently have a log disk as part of a ZFS pool. However, after reading more about the purpose of logs and realizing it mostly sits idle, I would like to remove it and re-purpose it as a cache disk. In Disks -> ZFS -> Pools -> Tools I used the activity "remove a log device from a pool", and followed the steps, with the command completing successfully. This is reflected by running zpool status:

Code: Select all

 pool: myPOOL
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

	NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	myPOOL  ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada2    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada3    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada4    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada5    ONLINE       0     0     0
	cache
	  ada0      ONLINE       0     0     0

However, it still shows up in Disks -> ZFS -> Pools -> Management as a log device, and cannot be removed.

I am able to add the disk as a cache disk using the "add a cache device to a pool" tool in Disks -> ZFS -> Pools -> Tools, and the pool appears to be working fine:

Code: Select all

 pool: myPOOL
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

	NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	myPOOL  ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada2    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada3    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada4    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ada5    ONLINE       0     0     0
	cache
	  ada0      ONLINE       0     0     0
	  ada1      ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

Hence, is there a proper way to remove this log device, or is the webGUI just not displaying the correct information after my changes?

Hello

I think that you need also to synchronise ZFS in Disks -> ZFS -> Configuration -> Symchronize
