Hello, I have looked around this mailing list and other virtual spaces and I wasn't able to find a similar situation than this weird one.
I have a 6 disks raidz zfs15 pool. After a scrub, the status of the pool and all disks still show up as "ONLINE" but two of the disks are starting to give me errors and I do have fatal data corruption. The disks seems to be failing differently : disk 2 has 78 (not growing) read errors, 43k (growing) write errors and 3 (not growing) checksum errors. disk 5 has 0 read errors, 0 write errors but 7.4k checksum errors (growing). Data corruption is around 22k files. I plan to replace both disks. Which disk do you think should be replaced first to loose as few data as possible ? I was thinking of replacing disk 5 first as it seems to have a lot of "silent" data corruption so maybe it's a bad idea to use it's output to replace disk 2. Also checksum and read errors on disk 2 do not seem to be growing as I used the pool to backup data (corrupted files could not be accessed, but a lot of files were fine) but write errors are growing extremely fast. So reading uncorrupted data from disk 2 seems to be working but writing on it seems to be problematic. Do you guys also think I should change disk 5 first or am I missing something ? I'm not an expert with zfs so any insight to help me replace those disks without loosing too much data would be much appreciated :) Regards, Ryan
