Issue:

RAID is in a degraded state, however the hard drive has not “failed” – instead is showing too many errors. As it has not failed, you cannot see which drive has the errors when viewing the list of drives.

Method:

1/ Run command:

zpool status

You will see something like this:

mirror-1 DEGRADED 0 0 0
gptid/11d64819-fb3f-11e6-86cf-001b2156178e ONLINE 0 0 0
gptid/129f1716-fb3f-11e6-86cf-001b2156178e DEGRADED 0 0 1 40 too many errors

2/ To determine which drive using the GPTID value, run this command:

glabel status

You will see something like this. Match up the GPTID and you will find the port.
