Is the OS seeing a bunch of disks, like /dev/da0 dev/da1, /dev/da2, /dev/da3, which it's then using as components to a software raid5? In that case you need to reconfigure your new drive to be exported as a single unit, then tell geom_raid5 in freenas to forget about the old failed drive and add in the new drive. At which point it will start rebuilding. At any rate, feel free to contact me directly, I have fairly intimate knowledge of FreeNAS, and FreeBSD in general. The output of mount would be helpful, as well as ls /dev/da* and graid5 status -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
