They are all from the same batch, and this "bad batch" idea has gone though my mind too, but we've taken 6 of the disks and built a raidz2 array in a different machine, and this time they seem to be error free. These are the same disks that have already had corruption, according to ZFS, when used in the original machine. Apart from the obvious (that everything changed), the major change in my eyes is that the other box (a Dell PowerEdge 840) runs the disks at SATA1 speed, not SATA3. There's no way to set these drives to run at 1.5Gb/s via jumpers or I'd put them straight back in the main box and test them. Is there a way to tell FreeBSD to run disks at a slower transfer rate? I've not seen any switches or tunables that apply with the mps driver. Cheers, Stephen.
