We switched to OpenSolaris + ZFS. RAID6 + hot spare on LSI Engenio san hardware, worked well for us. (I'm used to the san management GUI. Also, something that RAID-Z would not be able to do is: the san lights-up the amber LEDs on the drives that fail, so I know which one to replace.)
So, I wanted to try to stick to the hardware RAID for data protection. I understand that the end-to-end checks of ZFS make it better at detecting corruptions. In my case, I can imagine that ZFS would FREEZ the whole volume when a single block or file is found to be corrupted. Ideally, I would not like this to happen and instead would like to get a log with names of corrupted files. What exactly does happens when zfs detects a corrupted block/file and does not have redundancy to correct it?
