A very late followup here: I upgraded to the latest stable, but things did not improve: Mar 29 10:57:29 hamstor kernel: ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=1087300992 Mar 29 10:57:34 hamstor kernel: ad10: FAILURE - SET_MULTI status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> Mar 29 10:57:34 hamstor kernel: ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA48 retrying (0 retries left) LBA=1087300992 Mar 29 10:57:34 hamstor kernel: ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=ff<BUSY,READY,DMA_READY,DSC,DRQ,CORRECTABLE,INDEX,ERROR> error=ff<ICRC,UNCORRECTABLE,MEDIA_CHANGED,NID_NOT_FOUND,MEDIA_CHANGE_REQEST,ABORTED,NO_MEDIA,ILLEGAL_LENGTH> LBA=1087300992 Mar 29 10:57:34 hamstor root: ZFS: vdev I/O failure, zpool=gedaerm path=/dev/ad10 offset=556698042368 size=131072 error=5 Mar 29 10:57:43 hamstor kernel: ad10: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly Mar 29 10:57:47 hamstor kernel: ad10: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly Mar 29 10:57:51 hamstor kernel: ad10: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly Mar 29 10:57:55 hamstor kernel: ad10: WARNING - SET_MULTI taskqueue timeout - completing request directly Mar 29 10:57:55 hamstor kernel: ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=1087301248 Mar 29 10:57:55 hamstor kernel: ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=1087301248 Mar 29 10:58:00 hamstor kernel: ad10: FAILURE - SET_MULTI status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> Mar 29 10:58:00 hamstor kernel: ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 timed out LBA=1087301248 Mar 29 10:58:00 hamstor root: ZFS: vdev I/O failure, zpool=gedaerm path=/dev/ad10 offset=556698173440 size=131072 error=5 Any further ideas anybody? :-) Bye Marc -- "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
