Hello,

I just replaced a Disk with a bigger one. The new Disk shows up in BIOS showing manufacturer, size etc. however when I log into the WebUI, go to pool status and select replace the new disk does not show up.

Has anybody an idea what might be the issue here?

In "geom disk list" the new disk does not show up as well.

Thanks in advance.

You should leave the old drive attached before executing the replace action in the UI.

Are you sure it's not showing up?

Leaving the old drive attached is not an option, the mainboard only has 4 SATA ports, all ports are in use therefor I have to detach the drive that I want to replace.

EDIT: Just stumbled across this thread:

Post #6 worked for me as well, after rebooting the new disk is showing up. - Is this expected behaviour?

Could have been caching issues with the WebUI as well.
If it works now all is well.
