Ok so the capacity is ruled out, it still bothers me that after experiencing the error if I do a 'zpool status' it just hangs (forever) but if I reboot the system everything comes back up fine (for a little while). Last night I installed the latest SXDE and I'm going to see if that fixes it, if

I was hoping that this was the problem (because just buying more discs is the cheapest solution given time=$$) but running it by somebody at work they said going over 90% can cause decreased performance but is unlikely to cause the strange errors I'm seeing. However, I think I'll stick a 1TB dr

[i]It only scrubs the "used space" so it largely depends on how much data you have stored in the pool. Watch it with snapshots. I believe there is still a bug that restarts (or kills) scrubbing operations in case a new snapshot is taken. If you have automatic snapshots, that's something to keep an
