Last night I was trying to setup nfs to share a pool. It was working fine until I started to have trouble writing. I did a zpool status to see if everything was ok, and I got this. pool: spool state: UNAVAIL status: One or more devices are faulted in response to IO failures. action: Make sure the affected devices are connected, then run ''zpool clear''. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-HC scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM spool UNAVAIL 0 10 0 insufficient replicas raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-1 UNAVAIL 0 20 0 insufficient replicas c8t516d0 REMOVED 0 0 0 c8t548d0 REMOVED 0 0 0 c8t580d0 REMOVED 0 0 0 spares c8t3d0 AVAIL c8t612d0 AVAIL errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files: spool/mythtv:<0x0> spool/mythtv:<0x2> spool/mythtv:<0x3> After doing zpool clear it resilvered to the spares. pool: spool state: ONLINE scrub: resilver completed after 5h7m with 0 errors on Sun Jan 3 03:28:02 2010 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM spool ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-1 ONLINE 0 0 0 spare-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t516d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 194G resilvered spare-1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t548d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t612d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 194G resilvered c8t580d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 spares c8t3d0 INUSE currently in use c8t612d0 INUSE currently in use errors: No known data errors I then tried to figure out why it was using the spares when it says c8t516d0 and c8t548d0 are online. So, I tried doing zpool detach spool c8t3d0. There was a lot of hd activity for a short period, then nothing. But the zpool command never exited. When I run zpool status or zpool list they just hang, even df hangs. I can still access the pool though and all my files. My motherboard has an ich10 with 6 sata ports. 4 drives are connected to it internally, then i have an external enclosure with a sil3726 port multiplier with 4 drives in it connected to my motherboard''s sata port through a sata-esata pci bracket. I am using snv_130. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
