I tried to buy another drive today (750GB or 1TB) to swap out c3t1d0 (750GB) but could not find one quickly. So I was thinking as a temporary measure to use my 1.5TB disk instead as it can be reused at the moment (is currently attached to a sil3114 controller - c6d1p0).
Would it be ok to do a zpool replace with this 1.5TB disk attached to the sil3114 controller (it's only a SATA1 controller, whereas motherboard ports are SATAII): "zpool replace storage c3t1d0 c6d1p0" or should I just physically disconnect the sus 750GB drive (c3t1d0) and plug the 1.5TB disk to that port and then run: "zpool replace storage c3t1d0" What's the best approach ? And can you confirm the correct steps to take please. If it's the latter option, do I need to do anything with taking the pool offline at all, or is it just a matter of shutting the box down, swap cables over, start it up and when it comes up degraded (assuming it will), I then run the zpool replace command. I'm feeling a little uneasy about the whole thing, as I have no other backup at the moment other then this array being RAIDZ...my 1.5TB disk was to be a 2nd copy/backup of most of the RAIDZ data (not the best backup, but at least something) but to date I can't read well from the RAIDZ pool to do that backup..and it's a few years of home video. I think I'd just fall to pieces if I lost it. I'd greatly appreciate the advice.
