Nothing like a "heart in mouth moment" to shave tears from your life.
I rebooted a snv_132 box in perfect heath, and it came back up with two FAULTED disks in the same vdisk group. Everything an hour on Google I found basically said "your data is gone". All 45Tb of it. A postmortem of fmadm showed a single disk failed with smart predictive failure. No indication why the second failed. I don't give up easily, and it is now back up and scrubbing - no errors so far. I checked both the drives were readable, so it didn't seem to be a hardware fault. I moved one into a different server and ran a zpool import to see what it made of it. The disk was ONLINE, and it's vdisk buddies were unavailable. Ok, so I moved the disks into different bays and booted from the snv_134 cdrom. Ran zpool import and the zpool came back with everything online. That was encouraging, so I exported it and booted from the origional 132 boot drive. Well, it came back, and at 1:00AM I was able to get back to the origional issue I was chasing. So, don't give up hope when all hope appears to be lost. Mark. Still an Open_Solaris fan keen to help the community achieve a 2010 release on it's own. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
