My first real-hardware Solaris install. I've installed S10 u2 on a system with an Asus M2n-SLI Deluxe nForce 570-SLI motherboard, Athlon 64 X2 dual core CPU. It's in a Chenbro SR107 case with two Chenbro 4-drive SATA hot-swap bays.
C1D0 is in the first hot-swap bay, and is the boot drive (an 80GB). C2D0 is in the second bay, and is not used (eventually this will be a mirror of the boot drive, via the controller hardware, or Solaris software; possibly I'll even go to a ZFS boot system, when that's available). Another 80GB drive. C3D0 and C4D0 are 400GB drives in the third and fourth hot-swap bays. They're in a ZFS mirror vdev, and are the only thing in ZFS pool zp1. Everything works fine; I can create ZFS filesystems on the ZFS pool, put files on them, read them back, etc. I can run a scrub and it all checks out. ZFS status reports it healthy, online, all there, etc. So, having gotten this far, and it being a scratch install and all, I reached over and pulled out C3D0. I then typed a zpool status command. This hung after the first line of output. And I started getting messages on the console, saying things like (retyped; the system never really unhung, and isn't on a network yet anyway): gda: Warning: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 (disk 3) Error for command: write sector Error level: informational gda: sense key: aborted command gda: vendor "Gen-ATA" error code: 0x3 <illegible>: ata-disk start: select failed Eventually I have to hard-reset the box. It comes up again fine, and the pool is okay (I pushed the drive back in), and scrub doesn't find any errors. So what's going on? Does there have to be some special driver to communicate with the hot-swap hardware? I didn't think one was needed. Also, shouldn't some of these error messages end up in some kind of log file on disk somewhere? I found /var/log/syslog, and some other log files nearby, and none of them had any disk-related issues at all. Are those log files kept somewhere else entirely? -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/> _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
