Get and install smartmontools. Period. I resisted it for a few weeks but it has been an amazing tool. It will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about any disk drive in the /dev/rdsk/ tree, down to the serial number. I have seen zfs remember original names in a pool after they have been renamed by the OS such that "zpool status" can list c22t4d0 as a drive in the pool when there exists no such drive on the system. > Why has it been reported as bad (for probably 2 > months now, I haven't > got around to figuring out which disk in the case it > is etc.) but the > iostat isn't showing me any errors. Start a scrub or do an obscure find, e.g. "find /tank_mointpoint -name core" and watch the drive activity lights. The drive in the pool which isn't blinking like crazy is a faulted/offlined drive. Ugly and oh-so-hackerish, but it works. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
