Re: Problem with Open Solaris + disks

This was just a personal system which I built primarily as a NAS box, but also to run a couple VMs for various things. I was more or less running OpenSolaris strictly for the features of ZFS. I thought I would end up adding a lot more space and using some other features of ZFS which I never ended up using.

I will look at btrfs. It sounds like it could be very nice in the future.

For now, OpenFiler looks like it will work well enough for NAS, and Linux or BSD will be good for running the VMs.

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).
