Well, I hate to do it, but sometimes, I''ve just unplugged the power on
my SATA drives, or ejected them if hot plug to stop nonsense that I could not
stop.
As a matter of fact, I recently received a replacement drive for one I
RMA''d. I attached it to the mate drive, and it floundered for more
than 5 minutes, disabling ''format'' and ''spool
status'' pretty much. If there was anything that I''d change
about ZPOOL activities, is I''d change user ioctl operations into async
activities on kernel threads, and have a complete view of the pools stored in
ram that could be read (as updates occurred) via a unix domain socket by a
status reporting tool. That tool, in a GUI desktop environment, would post a
read, and when satisfied, it would report the details of the "error",
"transition", etc. as a popup on the desktop. Whether a GUI was
present or not, it should log the data to syslog.
That would make it much more nice to use ZFS so that admins could always take
action on multiple pools and devices without being burdened by the constant
problems with failing devices locking you out of system administration
activities.
