slow and steady wins the race ? I ended up doing a zpool remove of c6d1p0. This stopped the replace and it removed c6d1p0, and left the array doing a scrub, which was going to take by rough calculations around 12 months and increasing ! So I shut the box down, disconnected the SATA cable from c3t1d0 and restarted the box....it then hung on startup and wouldn't mount any ZFS volumes and no disk activity....
So I shut the box down again, reconnected the SATA cable to c3t1d0 and restarted the box. It came up (phew). zpool status showed the scrub was running again: scrub: scrub in progress for 0h3m, 0.00% done, 8769h2m to go config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM storage ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 So this time I offlined c3t1d0: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM storage DEGRADED 0 0 0 raidz1 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t1d0 OFFLINE 0 0 0 c3t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 then I ran the zpool replace and now it's doing the replace: scrub: resilver in progress for 0h15m, 4.10% done, 6h7m to go config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM storage DEGRADED 0 0 0 raidz1 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 replacing DEGRADED 0 0 570K c3t1d0 OFFLINE 0 0 0 c6d1p0 ONLINE 0 0 0 23.7G resilvered c3t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 I don't care if it takes a day, as long as it works :o) Thanks so far for the advice, I'll let you know how it goes. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
