Thanks a bunch. I wasn't aware of the possibility of using detach except for mirrors (as I beleive the manual states). Just tried to detach the two bad devices, and the pool is back to ONLINE. I'll restart the iozone testing to see if all VDEVs are used this time :) Vennlige hilsener / Best regards roy -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk (+47) 97542685 r...@karlsbakk.net http://blogg.karlsbakk.net/ -- I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt.
