Hi, I've been playing around with zfs for a few days now, and now ended up with a faulted raidz (4 disks) with 3 disks still marked as online.
Lets start with the output of zpool import: pool: tank-1 id: 15108774693087697468 state: FAULTED status: One or more devices contains corrupted data. action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data. The pool may be active on another system, but can be imported using the '-f' flag. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-5E config: tank-1 FAULTED corrupted data raidz1-0 ONLINE disk/by-id/dm-name-tank-1-1 UNAVAIL corrupted data disk/by-id/dm-name-tank-1-2 ONLINE disk/by-id/dm-name-tank-1-3 ONLINE disk/by-id/dm-name-tank-1-4 ONLINE After some google searches and reading http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-5E, it seems to me as if some metadata is lost, and thus the pool cannot be restored anymore. I've tried "zpool import -F tank-1" as well as "zpool import -f tank-1", both resulting in the following message: cannot import 'tank-1': I/O error Destroy and re-create the pool from a backup source. What I'm wondering about right now are the following things: Is there some way to recover the data? I thought raidz would require two disks to lose the data? And as I think that the data is lost - why did this happen in the first place? Which situation can cause a faulted raidz that has only one broken drive?
