similar to: Failing WD desktop drive in mirror, how to identify?

I have a raidz2 pool with one disk that seems to be going bad, several errors are noted in iostat. I have an RMA for the drive, however - no I am wondering how I proceed. I need to send the drive in and then they will send me one back. If I had the drive on hand, I could do a zpool replace. Do I do a zpool offline? zpool detach? Once I get the drive back and put it in the same drive bay..

Banging my head against a Seagate 3TB USB3 drive. Its marketing name is: Seagate Expansion 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STAY3000102 format(1M) shows it identify itself as: Seagate-External-SG11-2.73TB Under both Solaris 10 and Solaris 11x, I receive the evil message: | I/O request is not aligned with 4096 disk sector size. | It is handled through Read Modify Write but the performance

Hello all, I have an oi_148a PC with a single root disk, and since recently it fails to boot - hangs after the copyright message whenever I use any of my GRUB menu options. Booting with an oi_148a LiveUSB I had around since installation, I ran some zdb traversals over the rpool and zpool import attempts. The imports fail by running the kernel out of RAM (as recently discussed in the list with

Hello, I have a dual boot with Windows 7 64 bit enterprise edition and Opensolaris build 134. This is on Sun Ultra 40 M1 workstation. Three hard drives, 2 in ZFS mirror, 1 is shared with Windows. Last 2 days I was working in Windows. I didn''t touch the hard drives in any way except I once opened Disk Management to figure out why a external USB hard drive is not being listed.

I have a number of systems running solaris10 and i see the package and binary for dtrace installed however whenever we try to run anything we get this error dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace device not available on system the only system in which i dont have this error is the development server that has the full solaris 10 install while others are minimized, do i need additional

IHAC Who has an x4500(x86 box) who has a zfs root filesystem. They installed patches today, the latest solaris 10 x86 recommended patch cluster and the patching seemed to complete successfully. Then when they tried to reboot the box the machine would not boot? They get the following error NOTICE: spa_import_rootpool: error 5, Inc. All rights reserved. Cannot mount root on /pci at

I see a really good price, and better for quantity, for 3TB drives. Now, I've been down on WD for a couple of years, since I found that they'd protected certain h/d parms from being changed (like TLER). The ones I'm looking at are the Red, which seems to be a new color (at least to me), and one technical review I've read says that they're intended for NAS, etc, and you can

Hi All, I have a WD RE4-GP which dropped an Adaptec 51645 RAID controller. I ran a smartctl short test on the drive and it failed with a read error. So I ran the Western Digital's own diagnostic software (DLGDIAG), both the short and extended test on the drive and it passed with no errors. So I ran the smartctl short test again and again it failed. I then ran smartctl long test and that

Hi, Whenever I issue this commands (as in the help for the threshold function), # # Do a 1D decomposition # tdecomp <- wd(test.data) # # Threshold it # tdecomp.thresh <- threshold(tdecomp) # # Reconstruct from the thresholded coefficients # trecons <- wr(tdecomp.thresh) # #

Like many others, I am looking to put together a SOHO NAS based on ZFS/CIFS. The plan is 6 x 1TB drives in RAIDZ2 configuration, driven via mobo with 6 SATA ports. I''ve read most, if not all, of the threads here, as well as sbredon''s excellent article on building a home NAS, yet I still have a number of unanswered questions. I was leaning heavily towards the M2N-E for a while,

Dear all, I have experiencing some speed issues recently when moving files using Samba between a linux box (Kubuntu 10.10) and a media player called WD TV Live. Both are wired to a 100 Mb network, together with a Windows 7 box. In principle I believe is not a hardware issue. When I move files between the WD TV Live and the Windows box I get speeds of around 8 MB/s. Between Kubuntu and WDTV I get

I have a WD Elements 2TB USB hard drive. I would like to encrypt the whole drive with TrueCrypt on my CentOS box. Could someone direct me to a tutorial on how to do this? Ideally, I would also like to access it with my WinXP box, but this part is optional. Thanks for your help. Mike.

Hi there, I have found a bunch of sites explaining how to mount the WD mybook World Edition 2 via samba. Fine and Dandy - I've been able to mount the drive. I still am unable to write from the ubuntu server to the drive mounted via samba. What are some things I can check here? here is my /var/oxsemi/shares.inc the usernames have been stripped # cat shares.inc [Music]

Hello, on a v20z, we have as DOM 0 a Solaris XEN on snv44 64bits and we have as DOM U a Solaris XEN on snv44 64 bits. We then install a pseudo driver in the Solaris DOM 1 XEN snv44: installation is ok and driver works as expected. But on reboot of DOM 1, the driver is no more there (in modinfo, driver not found). Is there something special to do after a pseudo driver installation in a Solaris

Might be slightly OT as it isn't necessarily a CentOS related issue. I've been using WD Reds as mdraid components which worked pretty well for non-IOPS intensive workloads. However, the latest C7 server I built, ran into problems with them on on a Intel C236 board (SuperMicro X11SSH) with tons of "ata bus error write fpdma queued". Googling on it threw up old suggestions to

Solaris and/or ZFS are badly confused about drive IDs. The "c5t0d0" names are very far removed from the real world, and possibly they''ve gotten screwed up somehow. Is devfsadm supposed to fix those, or does it only delete excess? Reason I believe it''s confused: zpool status shows mirror-0 on c9t3d0, c9t2d0, and c9t5d0. But format shows the one remaining Seagate

I have a Sony lib-162 tape library hooked up to an adaptec 39160 scsi controller. I''m running OpenSolaris / Indiana snv_98 with the CADP160 driver installed from a SXCE dvd (snv_99). When I boot without xvm, I can run "mt config" and see the configuration information for the first drive in the library. Under xvm, some scsi operations still work - I can access the changer, move

Is there a card for OpenSolaris 2009.06 SPARC that will do SATA correctly yet? Need it for a super cheapie, low expectations, SunBlade 100 filer, so I think it has to be notched for 5v PCI slot, iirc. I''m OK with slow -- main goals here are power saving (sleep all 4 disks) and 1TB+ space. Oh, and I hate to be an old head, but I don''t want a peecee. They still scare me :)
