Excellent. I think you are good for now as long as your hardware setup is stable. You survived a severe hardware failure so say a prayer and make sure this doesn't happen again. Always have good backups. Thanks, Cindy On 02/01/11 06:56, Mike Tancsa wrote: On 1/31/2011 4:19 PM, Mike Tancsa

[zfs-discuss] fmadm faulty not showing faulty/offline disks?

I recently discovered a drive failure (either that or a loose cable, I need to investigate further) on my home fileserver. 'fmadm faulty' returns no output, but I can clearly see a failure when I do zpool status -v: pool: tank state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices has been removed by the

Hi Krunal, It looks to me like FMA thinks that you removed the disk so you'll need to confirm whether the cable dropped or something else. I agree that we need to get email updates for failing devices. See if fmdump generated an error report using the commands below. Thanks, Cindy # fmdump
