Hi all,

I got a pool degraded message and saw this as the result of 'zpool status':
Code:
  pool: tank
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error.  An
        attempt was made to correct the error.  Applications are unaffected.
action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors
        using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.

errors: No known data errors

I did a 'zpool clear' and the pool resilvered and was clean for a few days. Now I see the same error again. The problem I have is I don't know which of those 2 drives is the bad one. How can I find out which physical device is failing?

Thanks.
 
it shows both of them as broken.. maybe check the cables/controller (and in addition maybe your RAM ;))?
