Hello to you all,

Here's the situation:

While doing a case replacement in my home storage server I accidentally removed the post-it with the disk number from my three 1TB disks before connecting them back to the corresponding SATA connector.
The issue now is that I don't know in which order they should be connected.

Do any of you know how can I _safely_ bring the zpool on-line?

I didn't plugged'em in yet becasue I'm afraid of losing some valueable personal information.

Thanks in advance.

Leandro.

Of course, it doesn't matter which drive is plugged in where.  When you import a pool, zfs scans the headers of each disk to verify if they're part of a pool or not, and if they are, does the import.
