I'm running into this issue with disconnected drives on snv_134. Would upgrading to oi_151a2 have the updated mpt_sas drive as noted on http://blogs.everycity.co.uk/alasdair/2011/05/adjusting-drive-timeouts-with-mdb-on-solaris-or-openindiana/ "Update (New): These timeouts don’t do squat becaus

Martin, you can set a timeout with lsiutil, but I've found that it makes no difference, if a consumer grade disk starts trying to read a failing sector it can block a pool indefinitely. Best regards. Maurilio. Martin Frost wrote: > > From: Jason Matthews > > Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:26:08 -

you can adjust the disk timeouts in solaris. there are two schools of thought here: 1) accomodate the extremely long timeouts of cinsumer drives and let the drive decide whether to report an error back (fail itself out) 2) set the time outs very narrowly and be aggressive in letting zfs fail o

Geoff, I've hit this problem several times in the past, with OpenSolaris and then with OpenIndiana. There are, to my knowledge, no available solutions, it is so by design! If a disk stops responding the pool waits until after it responds again (sometimes pulling it out of its slot and then reins
