Hot spare

Post by NYCbiker »

I set up my ZFS pool with a cold spare back in 2015 before N4F had hot spare capability.

I recently upgraded to 11.1.0.4, which has hot spare capability.

Does anyone know whether my cold spare has become a hot spare?

If not, what would I need to do change the spare to hot?

Luckily, NF4 is rock solid, so I only upgrade infrequently. Unfortunately, whatever NAS / FreeBSD knowledge I've picked up along the way gets forgotten in between the upgrades. (I've been on NF4 since before it forked from FreeNAS.)

My pool status is attached.
