If there are any physically bad blocks, such that the hardware (hard disk) will return an error every time that block is used, then the disk should be replaced. All disks have a certain amount of error detection/correction built in, and remap bad blocks internally and secretly behind the scenes, transparent to the OS. So if there are any blocks regularly reporting bad to the OS, then it means there is a growing problem inside the disk. Offline the disk and replace it. It is ok to get an occasional cksum error. Say, once a year. Because the occasional cksum error will be re-read and as long as the data is correct the second time, no problem. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
