Deduplication was not enabled. Only hours for a 55% full mirror, not days or weeks. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] bad seagate drive?
Hi list, I've got a system with 3 WD and 3 seagate drives. Today I got an email that zpool status indicated one of the seagate drives as REMOVED. I've tried clearing the error but the pool becomes faulted again. Taken out the offending drive and plugged into a windows box with seatools install. Unfortunately seatools finds nothing wrong with the drive. Windows seems to see the drive details ok, of course I can't try anything ZFS related. Is it worth RMAing to seagate anyway (considering they will apparently charge me if they don't think the drive is faulty) or are there some other tests I can try? I've got the system powered down as there wasn't room to install hot spares, and I don't want to risk the rest of the pool with another failure. Any tips appreciated. Thanks ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Wondering, which OS version, driver and which controller? Also, is this always the 2nd drive of a 2-way mirror?

Re: [zfs-discuss] bad seagate drive?
It'd be worth still reseating the SATA cables on the backplane like Krunal recommended. Once the resilvering completes, of course ;) -- Sriram On 9/12/11, Matt Harrison iwasinnamuk...@genestate.com wrote: On 11/09/2011 18:32, Krunal Desai wrote: On Sep 11, 2011, at 13:01 , Richard Elling wrote: The removed state can be the result of a transport issue.
