Why doesn't "zpool status -v" display the byte ranges of permanent errors anymore, like it used to (before snv_57)? I think it was a useful feature. For example, I have a pool with 17 permanent errors in 2 files with 700 MB each, but no ability to see directly which one has the most errors or whic

Hi, I don't know if this has been discussed before, but have you thought about adding LZO compression to ZFS? One zfs-fuse user has provided a patch which implements LZO compression, and he claims better compression ratios *and* better speed than lzjb. The miniLZO library is licensed under the G

2007-04-05 Thread Ricardo Correia
Isn't it more likely that these are errors on data as well? I think zfs retries read operations when there's a checksum failure, so maybe these are transient hardware problems (faulty cables, high temperature..)? This would explain the non-existence of unrecoverable errors. Robert Milkowski wrote
