Homelab Hero · No. 011: your result

Hero call. 100 Hero Points.

Exactly right. DEGRADED means the pool is still serving — the job is to restore redundancy without gambling. The status and logs tell you what the dropout looks like, the shelf spare goes in as a known-good disk, the resilver rebuilds parity, and the photo archive never stops being readable while it happens.

The lesson: Degraded is not dead: diagnose first, swap the spare, resilver, keep serving.
