You might have just run out of entropy on the PRNG. That and small writes will kill you. Try: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX bs=2M next time. It should finish in several hours. A 20TB ZFS array will be done in less than a day (the compression ratio is wonderful with /dev/zero...). That and a scrub will let you know which disks got dropping in shipping. -Bill -- Bill McGonigle, Owner BFC Computing, LLC http://bfccomputing.com/ Telephone: +1.855.SW.LIBRE Email, IM, VOIP: b...@bfccomputing.com VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf Social networks: bill_mcgonigle/bill.mcgonigle _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
