[zfs-discuss] Recovery of RAIDZ with broken label(s)

2012-06-11 Thread Scott Aitken
Hi all,

I have a 5 drive RAIDZ volume with data that I'd like to recover.

The long story runs roughly:

1) The volume was running fine under FreeBSD on motherboard SATA controllers.
2) Two drives were moved to a HP P411 SAS/SATA controller
3) I *think* the HP controllers wrote some volume information to the end of
each disk (hence no more ZFS labels 2,3)
4) In its auto configuration wisdom, the HP controller built a mirrored
volume using the two drives (and I think started the actual mirroring
process).  (Hence on at least on of the drives - a copied labels 0,1).
5) From there everything went downhill.

This happened a while back, and so the exact order of things (including my
botched attemtps at recovery) are hazy.

I tried using Jeff Bonwick's labelfix binary to create new labels but it
carps because the txg is not zero.

The situation now is I have dd'd the drives onto a NAS.  These images are
shared via NFS to a VM running Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 X86.

When I attempt to import the pool I get:

root@solaris-01:/mnt#  zpool import -d /dev/lofi
  pool: ZP-8T-RZ1-01
id: 9952605666247778346
 state: FAULTED
status: One or more devices contains corrupted data.
action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.
   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-5E
config:

ZP-8T-RZ1-01  FAULTED  corrupted data

/dev/lofi/5   ONLINE
/dev/lofi/4   ONLINE
/dev/lofi/3   ONLINE
/dev/lofi/1   ONLINE

I'm not sure why I can't import although 4 of the 5 drives are ONLINE.

Can anyone please point me to a next step?

I can also make the solaris machine available via SSH if some wonderful
person wants to poke around.  If I lose the data that's ok, but it'd be nice
to know all avenues were tried before I delete the 9TB of images (I need the
space...)

Many thanks,
Scott

 Wouldn't it be better to just remove the corrupted device? This worked
 just fine in my case.

 
Hi Stefan,

when you say remove the device, I assume you mean simply make it unavailable
for import (I can't remove it from the vdev).

This is what happens (lofi/2 is the drive which ZFS thinks has corrupted
data):

oot@openindiana-01:/mnt# zpool import -d /dev/lofi
  pool: ZP-8T-RZ1-01
id: 9952605666247778346

/dev/lofi/4   ONLINE
/dev/lofi/3   ONLINE

So in the second import, it complains that it can't open the device, rather
than saying it has corrupted data.

It's interesting that even though 4 of the 5 disks are available, it still
can import it as DEGRADED.

Thanks again.

Hi Greg,

lofi/2 is a dd of a real disk.  I am using disk images because I can roll
back, clone etc without using the original drives (which are long gone
anyway).

I have tried making /2 unavailable for import, and zfs just moans that it
can't be opened.  It fails to import even though I have only one disk missing
of a RAIDZ array.

  Hi Greg,
  
  lofi/2 is a dd of a real disk.  I am using disk images because I can roll
  back, clone etc without using the original drives (which are long gone
  anyway).
  
  I have tried making /2 unavailable for import, and zfs just moans that it
  can't be opened.  It fails to import even though I have only one disk 
  missing
  of a RAIDZ array.
 
 My experience is that ZFS will not import a pool with a missing disk.  There 
 has to be something in that slot before the import will occur.  Even if the 
 disk is corrupt, it needs to be there.  I think this is a failsafe 
 mechanism that tries to keep a pool from going live when you have mistakenly 
 not connected all the drives.  That keeps the disks from becoming 
 chronologically/txn misaligned which can result in data loss, in the right 
 combinations I believe.
 
 Gregg Wonderly
 

Hi again Gregg,

not sure if I should be top posting this...

Given I am working with images, it's hard to put just anything in place of
lofi/2.  ZFS scans all of the files in the directory for ZFS labels, so just
replacing lofi/2 with an empty file (for example) just means ZFS skips it,
which is the same result as deleting lofi/2 altogether.  I did this, but to
no avail.  ZFS complains about having insufficient replicas.

There is something more going

[zfs-discuss] Corrupted pool: I/O error and Bad exchange descriptor

2012-07-16 Thread Scott Aitken
Hi all,

this is a follow up some help I was soliciting with my corrupted pool.

The short story is I can have no confidence in the quality in the labels on 2
of my 5 drive RAIDZ array.  For various reasons.

There is a possibility even that one drive has label of another (a mirroring
accident).

Anyhoo, for some odd reason, the drives finally mounted (they are actually
drive images on another ZFS pool which I have snapshotted).

When I imported the pool, ZFS complained that two of the datasets would not
mount, but the remainder did.

It seems that small files read ok.  (Perhaps small enough to fit on a single 
block -
hence probably mirrored and not striped.  Assuming my understanding of what
happens to small files is correct).

But on larger files I get:

root@openindiana-01:/ZP-8T-RZ1-01/incoming# cp httpd-error.log.zip /mnt2/
cp: reading `httpd-error.log.zip': I/O error

and on some directories:

cd ..ls: cannot access obj: Bad exchange descriptor

All those errors may be caused by one disk actually owning the wrong label.
I'm not entirely sure.

Also, while it's complaining that /dev/lofi/2 is UNAVAIL, it certainly is.
Although it's probably not labelled with '12339070507640025002'.

I'd love to get some of my data back.  Any recovery is a bonus.

If anyone is keen, I have enabled SSH into the Open Indiana box
which I'm using to try and recovery the pool, so if you'd like to take a shot
please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

[zfs-discuss] Backing up ZFS metadata

2012-08-24 Thread Scott Aitken
Hi all,

I know the easiest answer to this question is don't do it in the first
place, and if you do, you should have a backup, however I'll ask it
regardless.

Is there a way to backup the ZFS metadata on each member device of a pool
to another device (possibly non-ZFS)?

I have recently read a discusson on this list regarding storing the working
metadata on off-data devices (mirrored I assume).  Is there a way today to
walk, and save, the metadata of an entire pool and save it somewhere?

The main motivation for the question is that I recently ruined a large raidz
pool buy overwriting the start and end of two member disks (and possibly some
data).  I assume that if I could have restored the lost metadata I could
have recovered most of the real data.

Thanks
Scott
