[OmniOS-discuss] ZFS data corruption

[Doug Hughes]

I've been experiencing spontaneous checksum failure/corruption on read 
at the zvol level recently on a box running r12 as well. None of the 
disks show any errors. All of the errors show up at the zvol level until 
all the disks in the vol get marked as degraded and then a reboot clears 
it up. repeated scrubs find files to delete, but then after additional 
heavy read I/O activity, more checksum on read errors occur, and more 
files need to be removed. So far on r14 I haven't seen this, but I'm 
keeping an eye on it.

The write activity on this server is very low. I'm currently trying to 
evacuate it with zfs send | mbuffer to another host over 10g, so the 
read activity is very high and consistent over a long period of time 
since I have to move about 10TB.
