I have a ZFS pool that I made on proxmox. I noticed an error today. I think the issue is the drives got renamed at some point and how its confused. I have 5 NVME drives in total. 4 are supposed to be on the ZFS array (CT1000s) and the 5th samsung drive is the system/proxmox install drive not part of ZFS. Looks like the numering got changed and now the drive that used to be in the array labeled nvme1n1p1 is actually the samsung drive and the drive that is supposed to be in the array is now called nvme0n1.

root@pve:~# zpool status
  pool: zfspool1
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
        invalid.  Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
        functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

Trying to use the zpool replace command gives this error:

root@pve:~# zpool replace zfspool1 7987823070380178441 nvme0n1p1
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 is part of active pool 'zfspool1'

where it thinks 0n1 is still part of the array even though the zpool status command shows that its not.

Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here. I don't want to mess with it too much since it does work right now and I'd rather not start again from scratch (backups).

I used smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1 on all the drives and there don't appear to be any smart errors, so all the drives seem to be working well.

Any idea on how I can fix the array?
