Just to close the loop on this, for some other poor soul having similar problems and googling away I believe I have resolved it. The problem was somewhere on the 750G drive, and was fixed by detaching and re-attaching it to my mirrors. I actually took the extra step of creating a UFS on

Also worth noting is that the enterprise-class drives have protection from heavy load that the consumer-class drives don't. In particular, there's no temperature sensor on the voice coil for the consumer drives, which means that under heavy seek load (constant i/o), the drive will eventually

James, May I ask what kind of USB enclosures and hubs you are using? I've had some very bad experiences over the past month with not so cheap enclosures. Wrt esata, I found the following chipsets on the SHCL. Any others you can recommend? Silicon Image 3112A intel S5400 Intel S5100 Silicon Image

I got a 750 and sliced it and mirrored the other pieces. Maybe you ran into a bug, because that situation would not be tested much in the wild... or maybe you just bad lucked out and your computer toasted some data. Thanks Jeff. I hope my frustration in all this doesn't sound directed at

However, my pool is not behaving well. I have had insufficient replicas for the pool and corrupted data for the mirror piece that is on both the USB drives. I'm learining about ZFS for the same reason, I want a reliable home server. So I've been reading the archives. In March 2007 there was

I have a zpool which has grown organically. I had a 60Gb disk, I added a 120, I added a 500, I got a 750 and sliced it and mirrored the other pieces. The 60 and the 120 are internal PATA drives, the 500 and 750 are Maxtor OneTouch USB drives. The original system I created the 60+120+500 pool

I'm doing another scrub after clearing insufficient replicas only to find that I'm back to the report of insufficient replicas, which basically leads me to expect this scrub (due to complete in about 5 hours from now) won't have any benefit either. -bash-3.2# zpool status local pool: local
