  • before hot replacing a disk, say ada5, run
# zpool offline zroot ada5
and check
# zpool status
  • Insert a new physical disk
  • Copy the partition table to the new disk from a healthy one
  • Label all partitions with the commands:
# gpart modify -l LABEL -i1 ada5
  • Fill the EFI partition:
#newfs_msdos -F 32 -c 1 /dev/ada5p1
# mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada5p1 /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/EFI/BOOT /mnt/EFI/FREEBSD
# cp /boot/loader.efi /mnt/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi
# cp /boot/loader.efi /mnt/EFI/FREEBSD/
# umount /mnt
  • Fill the freebsd-boot partition:
#gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 2 ada5
  • Check:
#loaders-update show-me
#zpool replace zroot ada5p3
