Dear Edward,

I will run a couple of tests (you suggested) over night, tomorrow and send all in one.

Concerning hardware:
Fileserver "Micro": HP Microserver, 8 GB ECC RAM, , Intel Dual NIC Card, Raidsonic Bay ST1000-2-S2C (instead of DVD, HDD with OS in that)
4x1TB non 4k WD Green HDDs

Esxi-Server "Romaschka": Intel Xeon UP L3406 (30 Watt), 16 GB Kingston ECC non reg., Supermicro X8SIE-LN4F. Esxi and Solaris VM on WD Raptor 300 GB. 5x WD Green EARS 2TB on Intel SASUC8I per passtrough to Solaris VM (napp-it al in one concept).

No clue if I said but I am Political Scientist by profession - so not a nerd and quite new to Solaris (some people however wonder why i have a two meter 19 inch rack in the office...). So might be that sometimes I have to ask a second time.

Cheers

I am testing Solaris Express 11 with napp-it on two machines. In both
cases the same problem: Enabling encryption on a folder, filling it with
data will result in errors indicated by a subsequent scrub. I did not
find the topic on the web, but also not experiences shared by people
using encryption on SE11 express. Advice would be highly appreciated.

Most likely you'll have the same experience with/without encryption. Look
for a hardware problem.

If you don't find a hardware problem, look deeper.  For example, maybe
there's only a few bad sectors on disk, and you happened to hit them when
you ran encryption.  So if you don't find the problem repeating the same
test without encryption ...  Use a larger data set, up to the size of the
entire pool.

Probably the fastest and easiest... Run something like memetest86 to test all your RAM. Are you using ECC ram? You could probably skip the memtest
safely if you have ECC.

If that still doesn't yield any results,  try stressing & overheating the
CPU doing unrelated work at the same time while you're repeating your disk test unencrypted. 16-threaded infinite random number generator dumping to
the null bucket, while you're running your disk test without encryption.

That should be a pretty exhaustive process to check your CPU, memory,
motherboard & buses, disk controllers, and disks.  I bet you'll find some
hardware issue.
