Scrub over 100%

[cyberjock]

For most people once the system crashes and the pool is unmountable, there have been zero recoveries.

A few people have had this >100% scrub problem, and the only solution was to copy the data off the pool. For a few unlucky souls they couldn't get their data off the pool before it crashed permanently and the data was irretrievable.

I haven't put that in my guide because I've tried to keep my guide to things that you won't find being warned about. FreeNAS 9.2.1.x+ will warn you of pools >80% full. ;)

I've had a scrub go over 100% but in my case one of the drives was failing. It attempted to rebuild what was "missing" in the dying disk and went to like 103%.

I've since pulled the bad drive and am waiting for its replacement. Hopefully it goes well.

If you are not running on 4 gigs of ram or something ridiculous like that, I would think you will come out ok.

How to properly replace a disk ...

Make sure the failed disk (and only the failed) is actually offline - you can set the disk manually offline from command line ...

I'd stick to the GUI. You don't need to command line anything.

DO NOT USE THE COMMAND LINE!

The manual has to be followed to the letter - otherwise, why bother with writing the procedure down?

Ok, got all the data to an external drive in read-only mode. But now I'm unable to copy the data back to the new hardware through network because the integrated Realtek 8111G stops working after a couple of minutes under load. Ifconfig down; ifconfig up brings it up again but it does the same thing again if I try to continue.

Buy an Intel pro/1000 CT NIC. OEM versions of it cost ~30 USD.

I'll have to do that if I don't find a fix. There's only one PCIe slot so that is the last option. Maybe I could try an USB NIC that I have somewhere...

 

[gpsguy]

I doubt the USB NIC will work. Even if it does, it'll probably be worse than your realcrap NIC.

It'll probably *be* Realtek.
