I’ve been running a ZFS storage pool for about 15 years, first with truenas and now proxmox. I’ve replaced a number of faulted hdd over the years with no drama.
Last week a drive became faulted.
I replaced it using the replace command. 24hrs later the resilvering was complete. Then the drive started accumulating read errors and became faulted. I replaced the SATA cable same problem. I then moved the SATA connection to the motherboard from the onboard SAS to a separate SATA connector, and the same has happened.
Logic would say that the replacement HDD is also faulty….
This is quite unlikely, but not impossible. I’ve got another one arriving next week.
Is there any other cause to this problem that I’m missing?
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
