I've had bad RAM in some of my OpenSolaris boxes before and the bad RAM has caused ZFS to detect "phantom disk errors" when I do zpool scrubbing (i.e. ZFS detects that there's an error somewhere in the process of reading data from the disk and checksumming it).
I recommend try testing the RAM with the latest version of memtest 86. Also, try running OpenSolaris with different sticks of RAM and see if the errors go away. I had one machine where memtest said everything was ok, but as soon as I took out one of the sticks of RAM, all the disk errors disappeared. I subsequently replaced that stick of RAM with a brand new stick and the errors didn't come back when I did the zpool scrubs and I've been error free ever since. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
