Hello everyone,
I have a zpool (raidz1) built with 3 x 2TB disks.
Some disk start to report some error so I've taken 3 x 6TB disks and I want to replace the old ones.
I've followed these steps:
After that, I removed the old disk and I putted in the new one but I cannot replace it:
What am I doing wrong? Someone can help me on that?
##############################
EDIT 1:
additional note, running ":~# zpool status 'storagename' -v" there aren't resilvering processes.
EDIT 2:
On the new disk GPT table has been created before try to replace it
SOLVED NOTES:
zpool replace -o ashift=9 'storagename' <OLD> <NEW>
This issue seems related to the blocks size. I don't know exactly why but I can assume that all disk need to have the same block size:

Code:
:~# zpool status -v 'storagename'
pool: 'storagename'
state: ONLINE
status: Some supported features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
the features. See zpool-features(5) for details.
