Hi all,
I have a 4 vdevs, each with 6x2TB HDD's in a Z2 config.
I initially started with 2 vedv, then added the other over time. Unbeknownst to me when i added the last vdev it created it with ashift 12 while the rest of the vdevs are ashift 9. I know little about ashift so bear with me if i get the syntax incorrect.
My high performance WD 2TB Greens are failing, and so I am replacing them with some WD Red 3TB.
zpool replace on the vedv with ashift 12 was no problem. Replacing a hdd on the vdev with ashift 9 fails with an error about sector alignment. It would seem that the WD Red has a 4k sector and the vdev is 512. I thought the WD drives were logically 512 and physically 4k so it was backwards compatible.
I would love to move the data off and rebuild the array all with ashift 12 but it aint going to happen any time soon.
So any ides how i add this WD RED HDD into the ashift vdev?
Chur.
