I had just started the process of expanding my raidz1 by OFFLINEing the first disk, shutting down, replacing the disk with a larger one, then "pool replace omnius media-0E2FD10D-C34A-D544-A04F-811FDF4714B9". Let the system take the day to resilver, everything was OK, probably wrote some data to the RAID, then started the next drive the next day. Took the next drive offline, shut down, replaced with larger disk...
But, when it came back up the pool state was UNAVAIL. The first disk that I had replaced the day before is now showing as UNAVAIL "cannot open". The second disk is showing as OFFLINE, because I took it offline to replace. I've replaced the original second disk, but pool still showing as UNAVAIL. I can't "online" the second disk, because it seems like the pool has to be available in order to do that, but I can't get it online because one disk is now bad and the second (should be fine) is OFFLINE.
Is there a way to online the disk without the pool being online? I've tried a forced import, but it won't do it.
I have backups, but it will be a huge pain to restore (large amount of data, all offsite).
I'm really hoping I'm just missing something here that can bring this second original disk back online so I can at least have 3 of my 4 disks online and get the pool back online again to replace the bad disk.
