Homelab Hero · No. 001 · Your result

Second-best call. 40 Hero Points.

Defensible — and sometimes it really is the cable. But you just started a resilver on a drive that already fell out once, without learning why. If the drive is dying, a resilver is the heaviest stress you can put on the pool, and SMART's PASSED told you nothing about the dropout.

The lesson: A degraded pool is redundant, not urgent. Spend the free time on information before stress.
