Hi, I have a file server running ZFS on -CURRENT. Someone has tried to transfer a file with several gigabytes onto the system. The kernel crashed with a panic and freezed up during spewing the panic. I've only written down the most important messages: solaris assert ss==NULL zfs/space_map.c line 110 process: 160 spa_zio I've heard that I can try to move the zpool cache away and import the zpool with force once again. Will this help? I am asking because I don't know if the panic is caused by a corrupt cache or corrupt file system metadata. Maybe someone can explain it. (I had to switch the server off very ungently and the underlying RAID is rebuilding, so I can try it out later.) Is this issue with inconsistent zpools well known? I've seen some posts from 2007 and January 2009 that reported similar problems. Apparently some people have lost their entire zpools multiple times already, as far as I understood it. One more piece of information I can give is that every hour the ZFS file systems create snapshots. Maybe it triggered some inconsistency between the writes to a file system and the snapshot, I cannot tell, because I don't understand the condition. -- MartinReceived on Thu May 07 2009 - 17:06:23 UTC
