Error 5, Unretryable error

[zey]

Hi all,

I've been receiving the following error message. Not sure what it means. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure more information may be needed. If so please instruct me on how to retrieve the additional info.

(da0:mpt0:0:0:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error
(da0:mpt0:0:0:0): SCSI status: Check Condition
(da0:mpt0:0:0:0): SCSI sense: Vendor Specific asc:0,0 (No additional sense information)
(da0:mpt0:0:0:0): Error 5, Unretryable error

Some info. This is a VM on ESXi using a pass-through SATA 3 controller.

What's the output of smartctl -x /dev/da0? [CODE][/CODE] tags, please.

This appears to be the virtual disk created for FreeNAS on my ESXi host.

In that case, it sounds like a VMware bug in their SAS1 virtual device.

Any recommendations? Am I safe?

Having a freenas config file saved somewhere else to simplify life in the event of a required reinstall is ...one step closer to safe.
I've a hard time seeing that VMware would screw FreeNAS OS over so badly it will have an impact on your data. But ...probably possible.
You could perhaps continue to investigate the health of the drives constituting the datastore to watch out for propagating problems.
