Yes, a coworker lost a second disk during a rebuild of a raid5 and lost all data. I have not had a failure, however when migrating EqualLogic arrays in and out of pools, I lost a disk on an array. No data loss, but it concerns me because during the moves, you are essentially reading and writing all of the data on the disk. Did I have a latent problem on that particular disk that only exposed itself when doing such a large read/write? What if another disk had failed, and during the rebuild this latent problem was exposed? Trouble, trouble.
They say security is an onion. So is data protection. Scott -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
