Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS problem after disk faliure

2008-01-11 Thread Robert
To me it seems it's a special case that has not been accounted for... While is seems zfs is checking the disks against the pool and handle them nicely using labels/meta-data, even if they are mounted on different controllers, the problem I've encountered has to do with that a specific device/di

I finaly found the cause of the error Since my disks are mounted in a cassette with four in each I had to disconnect all cables to them to replace the crashed disk. When re-attaching the cables I reversed the order of them by accident. In my early tests this was not a problem since zfs iden

Ok, not a single soul knows this either, this doesn't look promising How can I list/edit the metadata(?) that is on my disks or the pool so that I may see/edit what each physical disk in the pool has registered? Since I don't know what I'm looking for yet I can't be more specific in my ques

Since there is no answer yet here's a simpler(?) question, Why does zpool think that I have 2 c2d0? Even if all disks are offline, zpool still lists two c2d0 instead of c2d0 and c3d0 It seems that a logical name is confused with the physical, or something... This message posted from opensol

2008-01-05 Thread Robert
One of my disks in the zfs raidz2 pool developed some mechanical faliure and had to be replaced. It is possible that I may have swaped the sata cables during the exchange, but this has never been a problem before in my previous tests. What concerns me is the output from zpool status for the c2d
