I’m using Synology/DMS and there you have a pretty neat GUI that lists newly detected drives and from there you can assign them to your storage pool and rebuild the raid. I’d expect it to be quite similar on software like TrueNAS.
Comment on btrfs drive replacement
Dust0741@lemmy.world 2 months agoHm okay. I was thinking of using Debian and likely a 4 bay case.
So the process for a dead HDD: Power off. Pull out dead drive and replace. Power on. Now what? Does Debian/a specific motherboard support auto rebuilding the raid 1? Or what are the commands to rebuild?

TrueNAS uses ZFS

Btrfs has it’s own build-in raid. From what I understand you should mount the filesystem with -o degraded and then use btrfs replace to switch to the new drive. I’ve never had to do that myself yet though.
