PERC H200 are well behaved cards that are easy to reflash and work

you can get them, they're one heck of a reliable beast, and cheap 
too!


That method that was linked seemed very specific to Dell servers;
from my experience with reflashing various LSI cards, can't I just 
USB

boot to a FreeDOS environment in any system, and then run
sasflash/sas2flsh with the appropriate IT-mode firmware?


It is indeed very specific to Dell cards and I've actually tried to use 
the generic instructions for the M1015 and it failed because it the card 
didn't match the firmware version.


The normal method with an M1015 is wipe raid firmware with the megarec 
(Megaraid recovery tool), reboot and flash on IT firmware.


The Dell method is more involved but it's the only why that I've 
managed to got a Dell H200 cross flashed.



Seems like the M1015 has spiked in price again on eBay (US) whilst
the H200 is still under $100.

I *could* use an HP-branded LSI controller (SC08Ge [3]), but I prefer
the higher performance of the LSI 9211 and 9205e HBA's.



The HP H221 is the newer SAS2008 based HBA that replaces the SC08Ge, 
it's definitely a pure HBA as I have one but I don't have any external 
disk shelves to test with currently.

[zfs-discuss] help zfs pool with duplicated and missing entry of hdd

2013-01-09 Thread Jason
Hi,

One of my server's zfs faulted and it shows following:
NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM
backup  UNAVAIL  0 0 0  insufficient replicas
  raidz2-0  UNAVAIL  0 0 0  insufficient replicas
c4t0d0  ONLINE   0 0 0
c4t0d1  ONLINE   0 0 0
c4t0d0  FAULTED  0 0 0  corrupted data
c4t0d3  FAULTED  0 0 0  too many errors
c4t0d4  FAULTED  0 0 0  too many errors
...(omit the rest).

My question is why c4t0d0 appeared twice, and c4t0d2 is missing.

Have check the controller card and hard disk, they are all working fine.

Please help how to troubleshooting and what is the main cause of it, how to 
recover the pool?

Thank you.
