 | I finally managed to move the files over to an Openfiler box and I just installed Debian on the system that has OpenSolaris.
I used smartmon tools to check both hard drives. Disk 1 is fine, but disk 2 has quite a few reallocated sectors (currently at 1996). I will definitely replace it if I get any more reallocated sectors. I suspect that the read failures created by disk 2 were not being handled well by OpenSolaris (or rather the SATA driver).
Linux seems to handle the errors correctly, although I haven't tried it out with the Xen VMs yet (I'm currently transferring the images). |
