Disks|Management shows replaced disk file system incorrectly

Post by PaganGod »

I have a RAIDZ2 pool of disks of mixed sizes in which I replaced the smallest disk today. That was no problem, used replace command and waited for resilver.

Now, in Disks | Management it shows the new disk on the same ID (ada1) with correct size, but shows File System as "Unknown or unformatted" instead of "ZFS storage pool device" like it does for the other members. I know last time I repalced a disk I had some different issues but that one does show up with right File System. I actually noticed this before running replace command but clicking wrench icon by row for ada1 before issuing replace did not allow selection of preformated file system, nor was I able to even select it in Disks | Format, also before running replace as well as after.

I need to export and import this pool anyway to implement autoexpand and wonder if that will fix how it shows. I know it is only cosmetic but the fact the last disk I replaced shows correctly makes me feel like there has to be a way to make it work.

Thanks in advance for any help.

SOLVED! Fixed by going to Disks|ZFS|Configuration|Synchronize and checking box for "Overwrite already configured disks (only affects filesystem value)" then clicking "Synchronize".

Hope this helps someone in the futue (maybe me!)
