[zfs-discuss] RAID Failure Calculator (for 8x 2TB RAIDZ)

2011-02-06 Thread Matthew Angelo
I require a new high capacity 8 disk zpool.  The disks I will be purchasing (Samsung or Hitachi) have an Error Rate (non-recoverable, bits read) of 1 in 10^14 and will be 2TB.  I'm staying clear of WD because they have the new 2048b sectors which don't play nice with ZFS at the moment. My question

Hi Benji, I did take a read of your blog before posting this. But it didn't have the exact answer I was looking for. OS Version is Solaris 10 U9 x86. Your blog was highly informative, but didn't say if you can zfs replace into a 4kb drive - it was more discussing the ability to detect the WD d

Hi ZFS Discuss, I have a 8x 1TB RAIDZ running on Samsung 1TB 5400rpm drives with 512b sectors. I will be replacing all of these with 8x Western Digital 2TB drives with support for 4K sectors. The replacement plan will be to swap out each of the 8 drives until all are replaced and the new size (~

Assuming I have a zpool which consists of a simple 2 disk mirror. How do I attach a third disk (disk3) to this zpool to mirror the existing data? Then split this mirror and remove disk0 and disk1, leaving a single disk zpool which consist of the new disk3. AKA. Online data migration. [root]#

Hello, We recently had SAN corruption (hard power outage), and we lost a few transaction that were waiting to be written to real disk. The end result as we all know is CKSUM errors on the zpool from a scrub, and we also had a few corrupted files reported by ZFS. My question is, what is the proper

The original disk failure was very explicit. High Read Errors and errors inside /var/adm/messages. When I replaced the disk however, these have all gone and the resilver was okay. I am not seeing any read/write or /var/adm/messages errors -- but for some reason I am seeing errors inside the CKSU
