Replacing a hard drive
Posted on
I’ve got a hard drive in a zpool that is starting to show some SMART errors. I’d really like to replace it, but unfortunately it’s in a zpool that is configured to stripe and not mirror. I do not have enough SATA ports or disks to convert it to stripe+mirror. Currently, it’s not possible to remove a drive from a striped zpool. You have to destroy the pool and start again.
