hi folks I've been running my fileserver at home with linux for a couple of years and last week I finally reinstalled it with solaris 10 u4.
I borrowed a bunch of disks from a friend, copied over all the files, reinstalled my fileserver and copied the data back. Everything went fine, but after a few days now, quite a lot of files got corrupted. here's the output: # zpool status data pool: data state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data corruption. Applications may be affected. action: Restore the file in question if possible. Otherwise restore the entire pool from backup. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A scrub: scrub completed with 422 errors on Mon Feb 25 00:32:18 2008 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM data ONLINE 0 0 5.52K raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 5.52K c0t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 10.72 c0t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 4.59K c0t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 5.18K c0t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 9.10K c1t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 7.64K c1t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 3.75K c1t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 4.39K c1t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 6.04K errors: 388 data errors, use '-v' for a list Last night I found out about this, it told me there were errors in like 50 files. So I scrubbed the whole pool and it found a lot more corrupted files. The temporary system which I used to hold the data while I'm installing solaris on my fileserver is running nv build 80 and no errors on there. What could be the cause of these errors?? I don't see any hw errors on my disks.. # iostat -En | grep -i error c3d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c4d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c0t0d0 Soft Errors: 574 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c1t0d0 Soft Errors: 549 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c0t1d0 Soft Errors: 14 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c0t2d0 Soft Errors: 549 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c0t3d0 Soft Errors: 549 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c1t1d0 Soft Errors: 548 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c1t2d0 Soft Errors: 14 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 c1t3d0 Soft Errors: 548 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 although a lot of soft errors. Linux said that one disk had gone bad, but I figured the sata cable was somehow broken, so I replaced that before installing solaris. And solaris didn't and doesn't see any actual hw errors on the disks, does it?
