If you are asking if anyone has experienced two drive failures simultaneously? The answer is yes.
It has happened to me (at home) and to one client, at least that I can remember. In both cases, I was able to dd off one of the failed disks (with just bad sectors or less bad sectors) and reconstruct the raid 5 (force it online) to then copy data off the raid onto new drives. Personally, I think mirroring is safer (and 3 way mirroring) than raidz/z2/5. All my "boot from zfs" systems have 3 way mirrors root/usr/var disks (using 9 disks) but all my data partitions are 2 way mirrors (usually 8 disks or more and a spare.) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
