Well right, but the SuperMicro card seems to be based on the same chip, but I can purchase new vs. something used.

(Waiting for a MemTest86 to finished that I had already started). I did see the LSI controllers on the Nexenta HCL after I started digging. I was actually looking at the LSI 9201 as it has 16 ports and isn't much more than the 8 port IBM and LSI cards, but then I came across the SuperMicro HBAs...

I did move all of the discs to the onboard controller before the last import attempt. While I wait for ZFSguru to download, are there cards that don't provide RAID functionality? That's all I ever see when looking around. Most of the errors I've seen are related to metadata.

There is no hardware RAID in use. The Areca is providing pass-though access of each drive to NexentaStor. I'm unsure if I used write-back mode or not. I will look into those discs.

Jesus saves, I don't. If I had backups, I'd have given up after about 4 hours.

Here's an update to my attempts to recover my failed pool. http://pastebin.com/RAN0ZwQd

Here is the status as of about 13 hours ago. I was working with someone in #openIndiana on freenode.net http://pastebin.com/wHS8BG5F I did move them to a different controller when the pool was exported. I was having difficulty in getting it to accept another disk in the array to rebuild it...

Trying the import process again now that the system is on. I saw a post saying to run the following. run zpool import pool_name on second console determine PID of "zpool import process" on second console run "echo '::stack' | mdb -p PID" prstat -s rss (after 5-10 min after zpool import was...

I couldn't get the box to do anything, so I shut it down and pulled the controller card for now. That's the only way I could get it to finish booting. Looking at the logs, it wasn't doing anything then anyway. Mar 8 08:18:47 ICSSAN1 zfs: [ID 249136 kern.info] imported version 0 pool...

I had mentioned that it crashed in the last post. Here's what's happening. To troubleshoot the crash, I removed the failed drive that I had plugged back in - to no effect. The box responds to pings and key presses, but nothing else. No SSH, no web interface, no disk controller management...

More progress. I think these crashes were before I had the high throughput activity below. It has since crashed again and can't yet get back in. Mar 8 08:02:47 ICSSAN1 savecore: [ID 570001 auth.error] reboot after panic: assertion failed: ddt_object_info(ddt, type, class, &doi) == 0, file...

Okay, zpool recognizes the array again. root@ICSSAN1:/volumes# zpool status pool: MikesDrives state: FAULTED status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or invalid. There are insufficient replicas for the pool to continue functioning. action...
