Thanks - I can give that a try, it has worked in the past for me ... I am just not sure this drive is to that stage yet. It doesnt click or make noise ... its just a few messages like: ad12: FAILURE - READ_DMA48 status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=40<UNCORRECTABLE> LBA=3907028224 ad12: FAILURE...

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts? Or should I just scrap all the data, rebuild, and be more careful? Thanks

Hello, Long story made short ... I had two drives in a 4 disk raidz that started having problems. The pool was working fine, all my data was still accessible. I decided I would replace one, scrub, let it replace the disk, etc than replace the other. Well, after offline-ing one drive and...

And the smart control data will tell me that? I should run the advance or whatever the option that gives the most info on the drive on all four of them, correct?

Gotcha. I am not having a problem with my system freezing/crashing anymore, I have fixed that I think, but I am just having that weird issue with my drive. I will use the smart controls to see if I can figure something out

Interesting ... I have thought about that because this didnt seem normal. Steve01S4 - can I ask how you managed to narrow it down to a specific disk? What tests can I do to see if I can find the same issue? I will try and do some iperf tests in a few Thanks a lot

I just did the memory tweaks because my box was crashing with kmem_map errors ... so far, so good on that problem.... Beast# uname -a FreeBSD Beast 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:02:08 UTC 2009 root@mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 4GB RAM...

Has anyone noticed with their green drives that they will write and then slow down to almost a crawl, and then start write/reading again? I have 4x2TB setup in a raidz on ZFS and when I write large files to the they will send at 60-100MB/sec for a little while and then slow down to almost...

Ok, so if I do the gnop ... will I lose all of my data? How does that work? Thanks...

Quick question - If I already have data on my RAID, can I enable this "GNOP" to start doing the 4K sector emulation? How do I tell if my drives already have the 4K sector size? I have 2TB WD Green EADS .. I would like to help do some testing if I can .... I have 2x2.2Ghz Quad Cores...

Right, I actually wanted to make sure it wasnt creating snapshots, because for a lot of my data I do not need snapshots Thanks again!

Thanks ... any I need to physically create a snapshot, correct? it is not automatically creating snapshots everytime I add/delete files unless I tell it to?

Thanks for the great explanation!

Hello all, I was just wondering what the main difference between just doing a "mkdir" within a zpool you created compated to a 'zfs create <pool>/<dir>' I noticed when you do the zfs create dir, it does take a few seconds longer. If I do a zfs list, it does show those directories, so It...

Well, I did get it to work by editing my VMware file with a diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck= "false" Just the weird chain of events: The VMware image is a Windows XP machine The image used to sit on a Ubuntu server that ran vmware server on it. When it was in this configuration, it ran...
