Does Greyhole keep a list of files?

I appear to have a HDD failure on one of my pool drives. The boot sequence reports a SMART pass, but the drive just clicks and won't spin up. Using an Ubuntu LiveUSB sees the drive, but I cannot navigate its contents, so I think it's well and fully dead.
I do have off-site backups of my data, but they are via iDrive with my Samba shares mapped as network drives on my Windows computer (since Crashplan stopped offering their home-level backup service ).
However, due to backing up from the Samba shares, I can't really see what Greyhole actually had stored on THAT drive. Some of my files were mirrored across both pool drives, but not all.
Commenting out the bad drive in the fstab allowed me to boot into the HDA and much is working, but I need to figure out what files were on that drive, I think. Is there a way to get Greyhole to tell me what files were on that drive? What's the best practice for this?
I think at this point I'm going to buy two drives to replace this one and mirror all the files at least once
