Hi Daniel, In some cases, when I/O is suspended, permanent errors are logged and you need to run a zpool scrub to clear the errors.
Are you saying that a zpool scrub cleared the errors that were displayed in the zpool status output? Or, did you also use zpool clear? Metadata is duplicated even in a one-device pool but recovery must depend on the severity of metadata errors. Thanks, Cindy On 11/16/09 13:18, daniel.rodriguez.delg...@gmail.com wrote:
Thanks Cindy, In fact, after some research, I ran into the scrub suggestion and it worked perfectly. Now I think that the automated message in http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A should mention something about scrub as a worthy attempt. It was related to an external usb disk. I guess I am happy it happened now before I invested in getting a couple of other external disks as mirrors of the existing one. I guess I am better off installing an extra internal disk. is this something common on usb disks? would it get improved in later versions of osol or it is somewhat of an incompatibility/unfriendliness of zfs with external usb disks?
