I have been running some large VirtualBox guest images on OpenSolaris (b134) - and have on three occasions had my zpool develop unrecoverable errors. The corruption developed in the VirtualBox disk image files. These are large files with intense activity- so better chance of seeing errors I suppose.
The configuration is Asus M4A785T-M motherboard (AMD SB710 SATA controller). I am using two mirrored 1.5 TB drives from different manufacturers (WD EADS Green Power, and Seagate black drive). fmdump shows both drives experiencing zfs checksum errors at the same time (which is I suppose why zfs can't repair the corruption). I have 8 GB of non ecc RAM. I have run memcheck on the box for about 16 hours and have not seen any errors reported. When I am running this approx 5 GB of RAM would be assigned to VirtualBox. Is this likely a RAM error? Are there any known problems with the SATA controller that could cause this?
