In the process of replacing a raidz1 of four 500GB drives with four 1.5TB drives on the third one I ran into an interesting issue. The process was to remove the old drive, put the new drive in and let it rebuild.
The problem was the third drive I put in had a hardware fault. That caused both drives (c4t2d0) to show as FAULTED. I couldn't put a new 1.5TB drive in as a replacement - it'd still show as a faulted drive. I couldn't remove the faulted since you can't remove a drive without enough replicas. You also can't do anything to a pool in the process of replacing. The remedy was to put the original drive back in and let it resilver. Once complete, a new 1.5TB drive was put in and the process was able to complete. If I didn't have the original drive (or it was broken) I think I would have been in a tough spot. Has anyone else experienced this - and if so, is there a way to force the replacement of drive that failed during resilvering? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
