How to remove faulted disk from ZFS pool once spare replacement done

  • 772

I have a ZFS pool in the current state:

[root@zfs01 ~]# zpool status
  pool: zdata
 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'.

As you can see, I have added the spare disk "ata-HGST_HUH728080ALE604_2EGWD3WX" via the command zpool replace zdata /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HUH728080ALE604_2EGWHSGX /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HUH728080ALE604_2EGWD3WX which has now created a spare-1 device with boths disks in it (was expecting the spare 2EGWD3WX drive to replace the dead 2EGWHSGX one.)

How do I remove the dead drive ata-HGST_HUH728080ALE604_2EGWHSGX now?

  1. To replace a failed disk with a hot spare, you do not need to zpool replace at all (and in fact this might cause you all sorts of grief later; I've never done this). Instead you are supposed to simply zpool detach the failed disk and the hot spare automatically replaces it.
