I have a home media server set up using OpenSolaris.   All my experience with 
OpenSolaris has been through setting up and maintaining this server so it is 
rather limited.   I have run in to some problems recently and I am not sure how 
the best way to troubleshoot this.  I was hoping to get some feedback on 
possible fixes for this.

I am running SunOS 5.11 snv_134.  It is running on a tower with 6 HDD 
configured in as raidz2 array.  Motherboard: ECS 945GCD-M(1.0) Intel Atom 330 
Intel 945GC Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU Combo.  Memory: 4GB.

I set this up about a year ago and have had very few problems.  I was streaming 
a movie off the server a few days ago and it all of a sudden lost connectivity 
with the server.  When I checked the server, there was no output on the display 
from the server but the power supply seemed to be running and the fans were 
going.
The next day it started working again and I was able to log in.  The SMB and 
NFS file server was connecting without problems.

Now I am able to connect remotely via SSH.  I am able to bring up a zpool 
status screen that shows no problems.  It reports no known data errors.  I am 
able to go to the top level data directories but when I cd into the 
sub-directories the SSH connection freezes.

I have tried to do a ZFS scrub on the pool and it only gets to 0.02% and never 
gets beyond that but does not report any errors.  Now, also, I am unable to 
stop the scrub.  I use the zpool scrub -s command but this freezes the SSH 
connection.
When I reboot, it is still trying to scrub but not making progress.

I have the system set up to a battery back up with surge protection and I'm not 
aware of any spikes in electricity recently.  I have not made any modifications 
to the system.  All the drives have been run through SpinRite less than a 
couple months ago without any data errors.

I can't figure out how this happened all of the sudden and how best to 
troubleshoot it.

If you have any help or technical wisdom to offer, I'd appreciate it as this 
has been frustrating.

Thanks!
