I have a system running 8.0-PRERELEASE with multiple drives and SATA port multipliers (siis controllers and PMPs). All of the attached drives are labeled via glabel(8) and then included into a ZFS pool. During some testing to determine how the system would react to a dead drive (simulated by physically removing a drive during operation), I was able to produce a panic.

Now, I know that the SATA PMP and siis(4) code to handle and recover from device errors is incomplete, but I believe the crash may be particular to using glabel'd drives. Basically, after removing a drive while the zpool is in use and issues 'camcontrol reset' and 'rescan' on the appropriate bus, the physical device associated with the drive disappears. In this case:
 (pass5:siisch7:0:15:0): lost device
 (pass5:siisch7:0:15:0): removing device entry
 (ada2:siisch7:0:0:0): lost device

and /dev/ada2 disappears. However, the associated glabel /dev/label/bigdisk07 remains. Since my ZFS pool is created based on the drive glabels, I believe this is why ZFS never notices the drives disappear either.

Do glabels typically go away after a physical device is lost? Should this not be the case?


After some runtime with the physical device missing, a kernel panic is produced:

ada2:siisch7:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed
(ada2:siisch7:0:0:0): removing device entry

I'm open to try patches and other suggestions.  Thanks.
