Ok I did some science, it looks like the array doesn't like me throwing zeros at the disk when it's 'offline'. If I take the disk offline, just fiddle with the array's data, then set the disk online it resilvers fine. 'zpool replace' also only works if you physically swap out a disk at the same port, or replace disk1 with disk2 online. 'zpool remove' and 'zpool detach' don't remove devices from a raidz. So I can recover an array if I have an extra disk to play with, to use temporarily or to swap out with. If I don't and a disk is giving trouble I can't drop it from the array, try to do something with it, and reinsert it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
