I'm having problems identifying which drive is which - I have just physically installed a new 2TB drive. The problem is, after clicking on "Create New Volume" the pop-up box "Member discs" shows all drives, not just the unmounted ones (like FreeNAS 0.7), and the ada numbers don't match :-(
Physically there are 7 drives;
2 x 500G (one mounted)
3 x 1TB (all Mounted)
2 x 2TB (one mounted one new)
Under "Storage" I can click the "View Disks" button by each HDD shown. This brings up the data for an individual drive (note, the s/n field is blank for all drives) and here is what is shown;
Volume Size Name/Identifier
1TB1 1TB ada0p1
1TB3 1TB ada3p1
2TB2 2TB ada4p1
1TB2 1TB ada1p1
500G1 500G ada7p1
But under "Create Volume", the "Member disks" show exactly as;
ada0 (1.0 TB)
ada1 (1.0 TB)
ada2 (2.0 TB)
ada3 (2.0 TB)
ada4 (1.0 TB)
ada5 (500.1 GB)
ada6 (500.1 GB)
So from this you can see the ada numbers are different, and if I was to pick ada 4 for example, the sizes are different in each list.
How do I tell which is which. I don't want to erase all my data if I pick the wrong disk as I have more to mount.
I hope I have provided enough information - took a while - if not please ask and I'll do my best.
