Hello,

I have a drive that was a part of the pool showing up as "removed". I made no changes to the machine, and there are no errors being displayed, which is rather weird:

# zpool status nm
 pool: nm
state: DEGRADED
scrub: none requested
config:

       NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
       nm          DEGRADED     0     0     0
         raidz1    DEGRADED     0     0     0
           c0t2d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c0t3d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c0t4d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c0t5d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c0t6d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c0t7d0  REMOVED      0     0     0


What would your advice be here? What do you think happened, and what is the smartest way to bring this disk back up?
    

Can you send the output of "zpool history nm" ?

  

It consists of a ton of renames and snapshots as executed by my ZFS snapshot cronjob that runs every night. If you want I can setup a job to grep for lines that are not snapshots and renames, but there is nothing other than snapshots and renames on my last page of results. What sort of thing were you expecting to find, anyway?



  
Since there are no errors I'm inclined to throw it back into the pool and see what happens rather than trying to replace it straight away. 

Thoughts?
    

Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.
  

How would I do so? Attach? Replace? Some other command? I'm not sure how to add a disk to an already established Raid-Z pool safely. In fact, I didn't think it could be done...
