I have a zpool with 4 2TB USB disks in a raidz config:
[root@chef /mnt/Chef]# zpool status farcryz1
pool: farcryz1
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
farcryz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
da1 ONLINE 0 0 0
da2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da3 ONLINE 0 0 0
da4 ONLINE 0 0 0
In order to test the pool, I simulated a drive failure by pulling the USB cable from one of the drives without taking it offline:
[root@chef /mnt/Chef]# zpool status farcryz1
pool: farcryz1
state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An
attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected.
action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors
using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-9P
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
farcryz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
da4 ONLINE 22 4 0
da3 ONLINE 0 0 0
da1 ONLINE 0 0 0
da2 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Data's still there, pool still online. Great! Now let's try to restore the pool. I plugged the drive back in, and issued the zpool replace
command as I was instructed to above:
[root@chef /mnt/Chef]# zpool replace farcryz1 da4
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/da4 is part of active pool 'farcryz1'
Um.... That's not helpful... So I tried a zpool clear farcryz1
, but that didn't help at all. I still couldn't replace da4
. So I tried a combination of online
ing, offline
ing, clear
ing, replace
ing, and scrub
ing. Now I am stuck here:
[root@chef /mnt/Chef]# zpool status -v farcryz1
pool: farcryz1
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

da2 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
[root@chef /mnt/Chef]# zpool replace farcryz1 da4
cannot replace da4 with da4: da4 is busy
How can I recover from this situation, where one device in my zpool was unexpectedly disconnected (but is not a failed device) and is now back again, ready to be resilvered?

Answer
Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors
using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.
Looks like after the initial temporary failure, you may only have needed to do a zpool clear
to clear the errors.
If you want to pretend that it's a drive replacement, you probably need to clear the data off the drive first before you try re-adding it to the pool.
