Hi everyone,
I've had a couple sleepless nights, so I'm hoping to get some clarity...
A couple of days ago, my FreeNAS pool went into a degraded state. Looking at zpool status, one disk showed that it was removed and several had "too many errors." These were all in the oldest vdevs of my system, plus they were all on the chassis backplane (Rosewill) as opposed to the DS4243s the newer disks are sitting in. Long story short, I narrowed it down to the backplane and moved the disks to spare...
