I have now upgraded to OpenIndiana b148 which should fix those bugs that you mentioned. I lost the picture on the monitor but by ssh:ing from another computer the system seems to be running fine.
The problems have become worse now and I get a freeze every time I try to access the 8-disk raidz2 tank (using no dedup and never have used it). It also takes considerably longer than before to mount the storage pool during boot up. No errors are reported when using zpool status but there is one significant difference since after the update; the "iostat -En" command now reports errors and here's what it looks like: c7d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Model: SAMSUNG HD103SJ Revision: Serial No: ##### Size: 1000.20GB <1000202305536 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 c9t0d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c9t1d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c9t2d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c9t3d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 35 Transport Errors: 21 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 30 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 5 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 5 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c9t4d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c9t5d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c9t6d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c9t7d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD154UI Revision: 1118 Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 To conclude this (in case you don't view this message using a monospace font) all drives in the affected storage pool (c9t0d0 - c9t7d0) report 2 Illegal Requests (save c9t3d0 that reports 5 illegal requests). There is one drive (c9t3d0) that looks like the black sheep where it also is reported to have 35 Hard Errors, 21 Transport Errors and 30 Media Errors. Does this mean that the disk is about to give up and should be replaced? zpool status indicates that it is in the online state and reports no failures. Any suggestions on how to proceed with this would be much appreciated. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
