Hi Calum,
That looks complicated, but I'm up for trying it.
At the moment, however, I've got to wait until I get another controller. That
way, I can take a back up of my data set.
Once I've got a backup I can trust, I'll be more confident about trying this
out. One reason Bernd noticed so
not sure if it helps any, or even if it helps in
OpenSolaris/Illumos/OpenIndiana ...
we've had problems in the past with usb devices and memory allocation
... admittedly this was when we had quite a few devices in the system,
but we had to set the ehci:ehci_qh_pool_size in /etc/system:
set
Hi Jon,
Many thanks for the info.
In the mean time, I've bitten the bullet and bought a cheaper PCIe E-sata
card. It'll be a while before it gets here, so time will tell!
But thanks for coming back with that. I'll keep it handy in case it comes to
it.
If any of my log files would help anyone

Hi
You can try a port expander 5 in 1 sata for internal drives
Another freeze. The backup zfs mirror set was destroyed and re-created. Both
drives were connected via USB and the copy started again.
About an hour and a half again, and the machine freezes. Interestingly, a
terminal running TOP is still refreshing.
I'm going to re-install the PCI SATA card
Well, the PCI expansion card is back in, and both drives are connected via the
E-sata ports on the expansion card.
The memory passed the test with no problems.
The backup has already done 440gig (all be it very slowly) and the system has
been up for over 8 hours now.
It looks like trying to
Michelle,
Though I generally agree with the advice that you received, I take an
exception to the statement that checksums always indicate hardware or
driver failure. As a long-time raidz user, I can attest to the fact
that, occasionally, changes to the zfs code have wreaked havoc with
At the moment, I'm having more problems.
In beginning the copy to the backup section, even with one device on the
motherboard e-sata and the other on a USB port (a combination which worked
under Open SOlaris 134) the OpenIndiana is freezing after copying about 200gig
of data.
For the moment,
I would be grateful if someone clarified whether this is what Michelle
Knight is referring to or the numbers in the CKSUM column.
Yes, the numbers in the CKSUM column, which trigger repairs during the scrub
process.
By last fall I was affected by a number of freezes when accessing the
When I was having drive issues like this I had overtaxed my PSU. I
actually ended up toasting a couple of drives (got real crunchy). I
reduced the system to 4 drives (I was running 7 at one point) and now I
have had no problems / no freezing.

IMHO this means that there were no errors in sectors which were actually
read between zpool status commands, but there were errors in sectors
which were not read (only scrub have read them).

You have pass a mem check over this
With the backup set removed, the system has been up for nearly 4 hours. It is
copying over the network to a large drive on another PC, so it looks like the
error is to do with the backup ZFS set.
As far as controllers go, how does this rate?

There are also HBAs with external SFF-8088 connectors. Unless you find
something cheap on eBay they can be considerably more expensive than the HBAs
with internal connectors. 3Ware has LSI based cards in their product line that
use SATA connectors directly on the
Well, active for 11 hours this time before freezing.
I'm trying again, but just using USB to connect to the external drives.
What log files other than messages should I be looking at for clues, do you
think?
