[solved] Add SATA Controller -> Disk name changed

[gecko1a]

Hi,

I didn't find the right description, so it's hard to google or search the forum.

I built N4F full install with 6 SATA on the motherboard Controller and 2 on an additional controller on PCIe.
The 8 disks are named as ada0-7. I created 2 vPools each 4 Disk with ZFS and raidz 1.

If a add the 3. SATA controller the 2 additional disk will named ada 2 and 3 and my ZFSs Pools are brocken.
Did I remove the 3. SATA controller it is fine.

How can I add new controller and add the disk as ada8 and higher?
Reconnect the 8 Disk isn't possible, because the 3. controller is a external one.

Could anyone solve the problem.

regards gecko

this is know as Disk shif sindrome, and no broke existing ZFS pools (test that still works and works fine), only change names of disk.

To correct it, you only need to do 2 steps:
once a new disk is add:
1- go to disk webGUI and use new button "Clear config and impor new disk" PD: edit config to add SMART if necessary, because button import disk, configure SMART=disable by default.
2 - Go to ZFS | Configuration | Syncrhonize and use button an the end of the page to sync your detected config with your pool, so your pool use real/good names of active/used disk.
