Had some problems with the 120Gb drive in my FreeNAS server over the last few days. So tonite, I copied all the data from that share onto my “mirrored share” partition. The ZFS 120Gb partition was my original “test” partition anyway - even though I did end up using it for some backup/archive data. It was a single partition, single point of failure, and was generating a lot of S.M.A.R.T. errors. So I copied all the data off it before it was toast, disabled all the NFS/Samba share stuff, removed the ZFS device and pool info, and then finally the device. In the BIOS I set it to not-used for now, and will eventually get the disk physically out of the machine, but there wasnt time for the “physical” work tonite.
