Hello all,
I'm having a bit of a conundrum I'm hoping is an easy answer for someone. Every once in a while I get this message when I check zpool status:
(base) Ed-Bowles-MacPro:~ edbowles$ zpool status
pool: Data
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices has been removed by the administrator.
Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
degraded state.

'zpool replace'.

I usually just online the drive and all is good
occasionally it throws up 1 error and I clear it (not sure if that is what I should be doing)
the problem usually persists for a few days then it stops removing itself for weeks
I'm guessing that it is the beginning signs of a failing drive and I should probably be replacing it...
However, I don't know which physical drive is the culprit
This: media-5BA3DE3F-9709-B44B-9B70-0176689F140F doesn't seem to match any readout in disk utility and doesn't seem to match any of the markings on any of my drives.
Does anyone know how I can figure out which drive is the issue? Please and thank you.
