Hi,
I have had lots of bad luck with SATA drives and have had them fail on
me far too often. Started with a 3 drive RAIDZ and lost 2 drives at the
same time. Upgraded to a 6 drive RAIDZ and lost 2 drives with in hours
of each other and finally had a 9 drive RAIDZ (1 parity) and lost
another 2 drives (as luck would happen, this time I had a 90% backup on
another machine so did not loose everything). I finally decided that I
should switch to a RAIDZ2 (my current setup).
Now I have lost 1 drive and the pack is showing as faulted. I have tried
exporting and reimporting, but that did not help either.
Is this normal? Has any one got any ideas as to what has happened and why?
The fault this time might be cabling so I might not have lost the data,
but my understanding was that with RAIDZ-2, you could loose 2 drives and
still have a working pack.
I do still have the 90% backup of the pool and nothing has really
changed since that backup, so if someone wants me to try something and
it blows the pack away, it's not the end of the world.
Cheers
Paul
