USB-boot Fail

[Jacopx]

Buongiorno,
this night i have received this report:

Code:

The boot volume state is DEGRADED: One or more devices could not be opened. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state.

I know what it means! I'm go to see in /var/log/messages and it's show:

Code:

It's possible to reuse it? Or is it better to throw it?
This two stick have only 3 months... One is OK, but i think that it's too early for a FAIL! It could be related to the System Dataset destination? Is better to use some disks for it? :)

Thanks!

I would toss it... USB Sticks are pretty much "disposable" IMHO

Is better to use some disks for it?

If you mean a HDD or SSD as your boot device, then I would say "Yes". I prefer cheap old SSDs which are mirrored.

No, i'm speaking about the destination of the System Dataset!

I prefer to keep my system dataset on my pool, also the reporting database.
