I have a server at home running oi 151a9 and arrived home to find the
system locked up. Keyboard and network unresponsive. So I rebooted.
As a quick aside, a little background on this box. Its running a
SuperMicro X8SAX mother board with two SuperMicro MV88SX6081 8-port SATA
II PCI-X Controllers for several years. Between the two controllers, I
have (9) 1TB drives. In the past month or so, I'll have one drive quit
responding to the daily smartd short test and go off line. The simplest
way to fix this is to cold boot. After a little resilvering and the
raidz2 pool is back and running. This gave me the impression that I had
one of the drives slowly going down hill until today. This morning was
one of those days that I woke up and had to cold boot the server to get
a sleepy drive going again.
So I started digging for the error.

.....(snap)....
I'm left at this point not knowing where to point the finger. Is it the
mother board and/or bus? The HBAs? and/or the disks? Am I looking in
the right spots?
Any assistance in understanding this is appreciated.
Very often we see that a drive failing in a specific way
also brings down the controller bus after a while, up to
the point where all other disks on that line start to
exhibit bus errors, although they are not defect.
So the lesson to learn is not to keep a broken drive
in the box for too long, it will not heal itself...
