zpool status report zfs pool error, but when I check smart of the error disk, no error found.
What should I do? Please help.

Code: 
root@pve:/# zpool status -v zfspoolz1
  pool: zfspoolz1
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
    invalid.  Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
    functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

After a while (when resilvering finished) everything should be ok.

If it does not work you have to replace the disk and do the same again.

Hi, I have the same issue, but the command does not work. Instead it outputs:

Code: 
/dev/sdh is in use and contains a unknown filesystem.

Status:
Code: 
# zpool status
  pool: tank
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
        invalid.  Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
        functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

Any idea where to go from here? This happened while I was replacing a failed drive, so I currently to do not have any other spares.
 
I have the same problem as the OP.

The solution proposed above seems to me to try to repair the faulted disk "in place" (i.e. without replacing; or replacing it with itself). So I am not replacing the disk and try to implement the suggested solution.

But when I issue the command from above (replacing "sdc" with "sdf" in my case)

Code: 
zpool replace zfspoolz1 sdf

I get

Code: 
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/sdf1 is part of active pool 'z2pool1'

and when I add -f I get

Code: 
invalid vdev specification
the following errors must be manually repaired:
/dev/sdf1 is part of active pool 'z2pool1'

So, rightly, ZFS is complaining that the disk I am trying to "repair" is part of a pool. How do I get around this? Or did I misunderstand something and the proposed solution includes replacing the faulted disk?

Thanks.
 
Hello,

I had a "similar" problem after a reboot I had two disks reversed and set FAULTY (with label invalid) and I have the same error messages than you with the "replace".

status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

[0:0:5:0] disk xxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxx /dev/sdd

normally sdd is 0:0:4:0 and sde 0:0:5:0

I corrected the problem with a export/import.
# zpool export xxxxx
# zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id xxxxx
# zpool clear

It is a bad idea to use "/dev/sdX" (from the GUI) because a disk can change or can be added and /dev/sdX can change.
The path "/dev/disk/by-id" is better to use (probably the proxmox GUI need to be changed ?).

Also I add ed to the file "/etc/default/zfs"

ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH="/dev/disk/by-id"

Best regards.

I'd like to confirm it worked like a charm! The only thing I had to run before exporting the pool was:

systemctl stop proxmox-backup-proxy.service proxmox-backup.service

and of course it is a good idea to create pool using /dev/disk/by-id/ labels
