I've been using a 5-disk raidZ for years on SXCE machine which I converted to

So, now I'm at OSOL snv_111b and I'm finding that scrub repairs errors on 
random disks.  If I repeat the scrub, it will fix errors on other disks.  
Occasionally it runs cleanly.  That it doesn't happen in a consistent manner 
makes me believe it's not hardware related.


That is a good indication for hardware related errors. Software will
do the same thing every time but hardware errors are often random.

But you are running an older version now, I would recommend an upgrade.

I would have thought that too if it didn't start right after the switch from SXCE to OSOL. As for an upgrade, use the dev repository on my laptop and I find that OSOL updates aren't nearly as stable as SXCE was. I tried for a bit, but always had to go back to 111b because something crucial broke. I was hoping to wait until the official release in March in order to let things stabilize. This is my main web/mail/file/etc. server and I don't really want to muck too much.

That said, I may take a gambol on upgrading as we're getting closer to the 2010.x release.
