I have now run some hardware tests as suggested by Cindy.'iostat -En' indicates no errors, i.e. after carefully checking the output from this command, all errors are followed by zeroes.
The only messages found in /var/adm/messages are the following: <timestamp> opensolaris scsi: [ID 365881 kern.info] /p...@0,0/pci1002,5...@b/pci1000,3...@0 (mpt0): <timestamp> opensolaris Log info 0x31080000 received for target 3. <timestamp> opensolaris scsi_status=0x0, ioc_status=0x804b, scsi_state=0x0 <timestamp> opensolaris scsi: [ID 365881 kern.info] /p...@0,0/pci1002,5...@b/pci1000,3...@0 (mpt0): <timestamp> opensolaris Log info 0x31080000 received for target 3. <timestamp> opensolaris scsi_status=0x0, ioc_status=0x804b, scsi_state=0x1 and <timestamp> opensolaris scsi: [ID 365881 kern.info] /p...@0,0/pci1002,5...@b/pci1000,3...@0 (mpt0): <timestamp> opensolaris Log info 0x31080000 received for target 3. <timestamp> opensolaris scsi_status=0x0, ioc_status=0x804b, scsi_state=0x2 Where the difference between them is "scsi_state=0x0", "scsi_state=0x1" and "scsi_state=0x2" respectively. These messages are generated almost every second in the log and the most common one is the "scsi_state=0x0" message. Grepping for any of the disks in the pools returns nothing from the 'fmdump -eV' command. Also note that I have never used de-dup in any of these pools. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
