Got a Zpool with 5 mirrored pairs of 2tb SATA disks and 2 hot spares.
No errors, all working, but a bit slower than expected. Anyway when checking out the iostats we see the following:
See that sd1 is always busier (& slower service time) than the others? And it's always like this under any load. Database, VMWare, sequential transfers.
No SMART warnings or any errors as far as I can tell. It's not normal ZFS behaviour is it?
We have 2 hot spares in the pool (sd12 & sd13). Is there any risk-free way to soft-fail the sd1 disk and set it to be a hot spare instead of an active disk?
