mcfloyd 0 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 So I think I was on 2.8 or 3.2 before I upgraded (I don't know there have been so many releases lately). Basically, I had a drive die last year which was a 6TB RED and it was given the label DB3. So I removed the drive, repaired the pool, etc, etc. I bought a bunch of new drives and the label DB3 has been replaced with a 6TB RED PRO. When I upgraded I was notified that the old drive could not be found and the pool was put into read-only. I don't understand why it was looking for that drive, but ok. I restarted and now I am getting a new error that the 6TB RED PRO is offline, even though I can clearly see it in windows disk management. I believe it has something to do with the label DB3 being reserved for the drive that died, which was not recorded as removed from the pool for some reason. I have everything mirrored. So to reconcile should I remove DB3, repair the pool, and then add it back? This sucks and makes me not want to upgrade again by the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mcfloyd 0 Posted May 22 Author Report Share Posted May 22 Really weird... So I removed the drive, and I guess it removed the old DB3. and then the new one was just... there. I didn't need to re-add it. everything operating normal now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
w3wilkes 194 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Glad to hear you got it running. I was going to suggest you delete the drive configuration from the registry and reboot. Drive bender will tell you it's rebuilding from drives. CBers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
