About this video
I walk through the process of replacing a failed disk in a ZFS pool on a Proxmox server. This is something you might face if you're running a Proxmox setup, whether in a homelab or a live environment like ours.
Iโll show you how to identify the failed disk, safely replace it, and restore your ZFS pool to full working order. Even though this is a test server, the steps apply to any Proxmox setup that uses ZFS. If youโre dealing with a disk failure, this guide will help you get things back on track.
Letโs dive in and fix that failed disk!
