I made a really stupid mistake... having trouble removing a hot spare marked as failed I was trying several ways to put it back in a good state. One means I tried was to 'zpool add pool c5t3d0'... but I forgot to use the proper syntax "zpool add pool spare c5t3d0".
Now I'm in a bind. I've got 4 large raidz2's and now this punty 500GB drive in the config: ... raidz2 ONLINE 0 0 0 c5t7d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c5t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7t7d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c6t7d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t7d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c0t7d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c6t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c0t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c5t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 spares c5t3d0 FAULTED corrupted data c4t7d0 AVAIL ... Detach and Remove won't work. Does anyone know of a way to get that c5t3d0 out of the data configuration and back to hot-spare where it belongs? However if I understand the layout properly, this should not have an adverse impact on my existing configuration.... I think. If I can't dump it, what happens when that disk fills up? I can't believe I made such a bone headed mistake. This is one of those times when a "Are you sure you...?" would be helpful. :( benr. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
