Public bug reported: ZFS errors can go undetected by normally diligent users because it's new and werid and not part of any scheme we have for reporting errors like we do with SMART. When a disk is taken out of a ZFS pool for ZFS- internal criteria, nothing in the normal utilities that are installed will let a user know.
The ZFS event daemon will poll ZFS state and report errors to the root email address. (It's not as good as reporting errors into the GUI, but that's a feature and bug report for the Z-E-D. At least the admin user will get local email in the case of problems.) The zfsutils-linux should Recommend zfs-zed. ** Affects: zfs-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Colin Ian King (colin-king) Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547549 Title: zfs utils do not recommend or provide anything to discover errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1547549/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
