Hello all,
This question is to satisfy my curiosity as the system is up and running. I'm running proxmox in my home lab on a Dell R540, I have 3 raidz pools, 2x storage, and 1x for root/system. One of the drives in my 1st storage pool crapped out, and after that whenever I attempted to reboot the server, it would stay frozen at the "Welcome to GRUB" prompt, removing the drive fixes this, and now I'll just have to deal with a degraded pool until I replace that drive. My question is why would a drive that has no system files on it cause this? This pool has things related to most of my containers, and VMs, so when I booted up with all member drives removed I expected more than half of my container/vms to not start, but still unsure about the whole freezing at GRUB screen.
Apologies if this has been answered somewhere, but my google-fu is lacking here. Every time I tried to search I ended up writing an essay; figure I might as well ask here, thanks.
