Having added a new drive - to retire some older units.
I was expanding a partition on an 8TB drive (I should know better) and while it reported OK, my SW didn't merge the partitions.
Worse, it resulted in the disk going missing from my pool and creating a new pool. I know how to remove that and I checked and it still has some accessible data but I cant get the drive back into my pool. I get various error messages error adding drive and handle is invalid
So:
1. my pool still thinks a drive is missing, but I can't add it.
2. The missing drive is seen twice as F: and Pool L
3. I was removing a small SSD its meant to hold file and move to HD but doesn't - that will not complete with a missing drive.

Any suggestions to fix my stupid actions ...
