Once we did that, it reported soft errors on that disk. We manually offlined the bad disk and the zpool started a resilver to one of the spares immediately. Strange thing was, FreeBSD didn't report any softfails or DMA timeouts or anything that I'd normally see with a failed disk, it'd just hang the zpool process... I wouldn't say this was a bug in the ZFS code itself, more of an OS failure that only manifested when we actually tried to use the disk. We've learned a lot about ZFS troubleshooting in the last couple of days, though! Thanks for the response :) Colin -- Colin Moller colin_at_lefty.tvReceived on Wed Aug 20 2008 - 15:23:45 UTC
