Hi Simon,

I am also curious if you have a solution for the point 4 of your initial Requirement-List:

4. report any data checksum errors or drive failures to me by email so I can fix problems quickly

Right now I am wondering how the hell I get noticed about a degraded RaidZ without checking zpool status -v everyday. As you suggested – getting an E-Mail would be best…

Thanks,

Volekr

Simon,

Did you ever post the cron script for monitoring your system?

Great site, thanks for writing about your experiences in building a NAS.
I’m a newbie so examples are great way to learn.
Thanks
Kamal

The Adapter link error should not be occuring if all is well with the backplane.
Changing to an LSI SAS3081E-R controller with the latest firmware,instead of an AOC-USASLP-L8i, made the dodgy backplane unuseable.
The adapter link issues were fixed when the backplane was replaced, but not the timeouts seen using iostat -X -e -n. Only a few of the 34 disks give problems.

e.g.
