[OpenIndiana-discuss] General ZFS questions (Michelle Knight)

[Michelle Knight]

Another freeze. The "backup" zfs mirror set was destroyed and re-created. Both 
drives were connected via USB and the copy started again.

About an hour and a half again, and the machine freezes. Interestingly, a 
terminal running TOP is still refreshing. 

I'm going to re-install the PCI SATA card and see what happens ... take the 
USB out of the configuration.

Incidentally, to the power concerns, the machine was originally built this way 
in Feb 2010 using OpenSolaris and has run before, using this same operation. 
The motherboard was changed in December and I don't think that power is going 
to be the root of this problem, but I've identified a new PSU to buy next 
month.

I'll update with the results of not using the USB ports a bit later. I'm going 
to run a memory check as well.
