I have a FreeBSD 8.2 server at home with 4 2TB drives in it running ZFS
in a raidz. Some time ago, I had a disk fail. Initially it wasn't
totally obvious the disk had failed so I ran a 'zpool scrub' on the
pool, which threw up a lot of errors, and also produces a lot of sense
errors, making it obvious I had a dead disk.
I replaced the disk, then ran "zpool replace zjumbo ad4 ad4" to
replace
the bad disk in-place, and start a resilver.
Now I have a few problems:
1) The old ad4 is still listed, even after several scrub/resilvers.
Shouldn't it go away?
2) Although I lost a whole directory with ~1TB of music, the space
allocated to that directory is still around according df.
3) I have another bunch of files that appear in directory listings, but
if I get "Illegal byte sequence" errors when trying to read them (with
anything - du, file, wc).
I have backups of most of the stuff on the pool (although it'd be nice
to recover the more recent data), but how do I get out of this situation
without nuking the site from orbit? (my current plan) Firstly, to get a
reliable representation of what's actually on the filesystem, and for
bonus points, getting back some of the data that should be intact (only
one disk in the set was actually bad, right?).
Here's my current zpool status. Thanks in advance for any pointers!
