Howdy. My plan: I'm planning an ESX-iSCSI target/NFS serving box. I'm planning on using an Areca RAID card, as I've heard mixed things about hot-swapping with Solaris/ZFS, and I'd like the stability of a hardware RAID. My question is this: I'll be using 8 750GB SATA drives, and I''m trying to

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS hangs/freezes after disk failure,

2008-08-24 Thread Matt Harrison
nplugging a drive (actually pulling the cable out) does not simulate a drive failure, it simulates a drive getting unplugged, which is something the hardware is not capable of dealing with. If your drive were to suffer something more realistic, along the lines of how you would normally expect a drive to die, then the system should cope with it a whole lot better. Unfortunately, hard drives don't come with a big button saying "simulate head crash now" or "make me some bad sectors" so it's going to be difficult to simulate those failures. All I can say is that unplugging a drive yourself will not simulate a failure, it merely causes the disk to disappear. Dying or dead disks will still normally be able to communicate with the driver to some extent, so they are still "there". If you were using dedicated hotswappable hardware, then I wouldn't expect to see the problem, but AFAIK off the shelf SATA hardware doesn't support this fully, so unexpected results will occur. I hope this has been of some small help, even just to explain why the system didn't cope as you expected.
