Hey guys,
I have zoneminder recording videos to a pool called "cams" on a single hard drive (strip).
It all starts with this warning:

Code:
New alerts:
* New feature flags are available for volume cams. Refer to the "Upgrading a ZFS Pool" subsection in the User Guide "Installing and Upgrading" chapter and "Upgrading" section for more instructions.


then I get this one:

Code:
Gone alerts:
* The volume cams state is UNAVAIL: One or more devices are faulted in response to IO failures.
* New feature flags are available for volume cams. Refer to the "Upgrading a ZFS Pool" subsection in the User Guide "Installing and Upgrading" chapter and "Upgrading" section for more instructions.


and after these emails My FreeNAS box becomes unresponsive and I have to do a hard reset to get it back to work. then the history repeats again and again.

I have replaced the hard drive but no luck. admittedly I have been using 10 year old WD blue that I have laying around.

Howerver I have run extended SMART tests and they come back with no errors.
The only strange thing I have noiced is that this particular hard drive is always about 41 degrees, while my other HDD are about 30 degrees Celsius.

Any idea of what could be happening?
I am thinking of getting a new HDD and sata cable. Would I be wasting my money if I do?

this is the output of SMART test:

I have replaced the hard drive but no luck
Do you mean that after you replace the drive the same errors appear?

At a glance the SMART output of the drive appears ok so I would suspect a wiring issue atm.

Thank you all,
Full list of hardware and pool type, please.
My hardware is in my signature, plus a zfs pool of 1 off hdd for zoneminder data.
Do you mean that after you replace the drive the same errors appear?
yes, exactly.
I took the plunge and bought a brand new seagate skywolf 1TB to replace the failing hdd, also a new sata cable. I hope this fix the problem. I think this happens when the disk is full and zm starts overwriting the old data. I'll post if this is the case.

Thanks again
