FreeNAS too many errors on disk

truenaszfs

One disk of my FreeNAS has failed, the zpool only contains a virtual machine.

When I call zpool status -v, I get:

root@freenas:/ # zpool status -v
  pool: freenas-boot
 state: ONLINE
  scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0 days 00:02:08 with 0 errors on Fri Dec 28 03:47:08 2018

      da0p2     ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

 state: DEGRADED

    corruption.  Applications may be affected.
action: Restore the file in question if possible.  Otherwise restore the

errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files:

        vol1/discoubuntu:<0x1>

If I replace the failing drive, the file will be readable again?.

Is there a way to recover that file?.

This message means that the file is irrecoverably damaged. Changing the disk will not magically repair it. Restore from your backup.
