For the 4th time, I've had a FreeNAS device crash and lost all the data in the ZFS volume. Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong here?
I've got a 45Drives enclosure full of 3TB Western Digital Red drives for a total unformatted available space of 132TB. I've created a single ZFS volume on the device so far of 60TB with 1.2TB reserved. I am presenting the 60TB volume this to my Windows 2008 Server as a iSCSI volume. The server sees the space, formats it as NTFS and can write to it as an iSCSI device. It's being used as library storage space (replacement for tapes) for a CommVault/Sympana backup system.
The volume reaches 95% capacity and then the device crashes - the only fix I've been able to use to get the device back online is to reinstall it from scratch and reformat and reconfigure the device completely over again. Several weeks later when it fills up again it just does the same thing. Is there something I need to do to tell the device to reserve space for something it needs that it does not have enough of that is causing it to crash this way?
Can someone tell me what is being done wrong here?
