Replaced a dead disk in a ZFS pool. After resilvering finished, the status look weird :/

I replaced a dead disk in a ZFS pool (on FreeNAS-11.1-U6.3) following the hints I found at Need to replace disk in zpool … confused …

# zpool replace raid2 gptid/f00-whatever-id-that-was-f46d049aaeca /dev/ada0

and after resilvering for 20 hours, the pool is healthy and online again… so thanks a lot to the original poster & replies \o/ 😀

There's one thing though that's annoying me: The current result of a zpool status jake command. It looks quite weird:

# zpool status jake
  pool: jake
 state: ONLINE
  scan: resilvered 3.24T in 0 days 20:21:41 with 0 errors on Wed Jan  9 16:04:10 2019

errors: No known data errors

So… ada1 instead of gptid/whatever 🙁
It looks like I didn't initialize and/or specify the new HD correctly?

How can I fix this? Removing it from the pool, initiaize it correctly and then re-add it?

Thanks for your help,

Thanks for pointing me to the GUI! I finally found the place in the GUI where I can add a replacement HDD in the proper way. Before that I overlooked the right menu again and again. Using the GUI was indeed straightforward & did all the necessary steps.

Of course I first had to remove the ada1 drive here and replaced it with a new, empty one.
