What is the recommended action on OmniOS 151014 about the L2Arc Problem
1. what is the recommended way to detect possible problems
a. run scrub? seems useless
b. run zdb pool and check for what
You said: Look for assertion failures, or other non-0 exits. Is
this the key for a corrupt pool?
2. when using an L2Arc and there is no obvious error detected by scrub
or zdb
a. trash the pool and restore from backup via rsync with possible
file corruptions but ZFS structure is 100% ok then
b. keep the pool and hope that there is no metadata corruption?
c. some action to verify that at least the pool is ok: ....

If you are using a zpool with r151014 and you have an L2ARC ("cache") vdev, I
recommend at this time disabling it. You may disable it by uttering:
zpool remove <pool-name> <cache-vdev-name>
For example:
zpool remove data c2t2d0
The bug in question has a good analysis here:
https://www.illumos.org/issues/6214
This bug can lead to problems ranging from false-positives on zpool scrub all
the way up to actual pool corruption.
We will be updating the package repo AND the install media once 6214 is
upstreamed to illumos-gate, and pulled back into the r151014 branch of
illumos-omnios. The fix is undergoing some tests from ZFS experts right now to
verify its correctness.
So please disable your L2ARC/cache devices for maximum data safety. You can
add them back after we update r151014 by uttering:
zpool add <pool-name> cache <cache-vdev-name>
PLEASE NOTE the "cache" indicator when you add back. If you omit this, the
vdev is ADDED to your pool, an operation one can't reverse.
zpool add data cache c2t2d0
Thanks,
Dan
