[SOLVED] ZFS mirror disk replacement failed

[hendrikausb]

Hi there,
In my ZFS pool, an SSD broke after a short time. Then I tested the disk formatted in my Windows PC and replaced it again with the same disk on my Proxmox Host. The operation failed .
If I enter the replace command again, the following message appears:

zpool replace -f rpool /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WDS500G1R0A-68A4W0_22034Z804998-part1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WDS500G1R0A-68A4W0_22034Z804998-part3

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WDS500G1R0A-68A4W0_22034Z804998-part1 with /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WDS500G1R0A-68A4W0_22034Z804998-part3: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WDS500G1R0A-68A4W0_22034Z804998_22034Z804998 -part3 is busy, or device removal is in progress

In the picture you can also see that both partitions (both the same hard disk) are OFFLINE. What can I do to execute the replace command or to remove one of these partitions?

Greetings Hendrik

Instead of a replace you can try to detach the device and add the new one.
Maybe this moves you forward.

I exchanged the ssd for a new one. after that I was able to run the replace command.
now the system is working properly again.
I'll keep one of these in stock from now on.

Many Thanks

Depending on your workload you will probably eat up ssds pretty quick with zfs.
This is one of the downsides of zfs...
If you look for new ones at some time try to get some datace term ssds (even if they are used). The cheap consumer stuff as of these days does not play nicely...
My old mlc ssds hold up quite OK. But it is not optimal either
