On one of my pools, a drive started failing with 17 bad sectors. Not a big deal typically as I will add a replacement drive to the pool, remove the bad drive, and it will rebalance and move files off of the bad drive and to the new one.
This time was different. I added the new drive to the pool, and removed the bad drive except that it didn't transfer the files off of it. The drive still has 5TB of data on it but when I attempt to add it back to the pool, i get an error stating "cannot add same disk to pool twice". The drive isn't listed under any pool drive list.
When I assign a drive letter to review the files on the drive, there are two pool.parts, both hidden and empty.
Any idea whats going on here? Do I just need to recover the data with another tool?
