I was running zpool iostat on a pool comprising a stripe of raidz2
vdevs that appears to be writing slowly and I notice a considerable
imbalance of both free space and write operations. The pool is
currently feeding a tape backup while receiving a large filesystem.
Is this imbalance normal? I would expect a more even distribution as
the poll configuration hasn't been changed since creation.
The second and third ones are pretty much full, with the others having
well over 10 times more free space, so I wouldn't expect many writes
to the full ones.
Have the others ever been in a degraded state? That might explain why
the fill level has become unbalanced.
We had to swap a drive in the second one and I've seen hot spares kick
in as in the first one here. These have always been as a result of
phantom errors from that wretched Marvell driver (the box is an x4500).
Nothing has been degraded for long and I stop all copies to the box when
scrubbing or resilvering is in progress (receives still restart scrubs
in update 7).
The system is running Solaris 10 update 7.
