I do not believe this is a case where failmode is used -- the pool state is not FAULTED. In my experience, this is a case where the disk is there, accepting commands, but not actually responding. Eventually, (by default for most Solaris-derivative) after 60seconds * 3 retries, something else is attempted, that also fails. Also in my experience, I see this on consumer-grade drives (qv TLER discussions). However, we can't know more until we see the "fmdump -eV" error log descriptive output. -- richard -- ZFS storage and performance consulting at http://www.RichardElling.com _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
