I doubt this is the problem, I have WD10EADS disks in my ZFS array and I=20 see the same issue. It strikes me as extremely unlikely that both of us would have dud=20 disks.. In any case it seems to be a general problem not limited to one area of=20 the disk so a dud sector is an unlikely reason. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart2587009.gNngUzBPDv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBLK1H35ZPcIHs/zowRArlcAJ9e1qVw7m9AwYHxTULbjKXxwBp5fQCfSVwl wi08jaz4deTvKb0fReGmJ38= =ixAF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2587009.gNngUzBPDv--
