ZFS - Pop_OS 19.10 - I/O Errors

Software & Operating Systems Linux
1

New to this ZFS thing. I setup a raidz1 with 5x8TB drives and things were going well for the most part. But 3 times now I’ve had to restart the array due to IO faults after mass copying files to the array from other hard drives.

After restart things go well for a while before more IO errors.
I suspect a few of the individual drives are going to sleep? Is that a thing?
Do I need to turn off some sort of power management settings in Ubuntu/Pop_OS settings for the ZFS member drives?

Or any other input on why I am get IO faults after 10-30minutes of spamming the drives with new data at 200MB/s.

Tnx

Pool config?

How’d you install zfs?

Anything of interest in dmesg?

Smart status on disks?

Memtest results?

Without any more detailed info, I’m stabbing in the dark.

Not very likely, drives don’t sleep while doing IO, and a ZFS array is always doing something. For a server, all forms of sleeping should be turned off anyways.

If the drives are dropping out during high IO, most likely bad connection (cheap hotswap cage for ex), or bad cable, or bad power. Less likely, bad drive or hardware fault on the controller.

Tnx for the replies!

I did not modify any pool configs.
I created pool with ashift=12, -m /mnt/tank using by-id
zfs set compression=lz4 tank
zfs set atime=off tank
zfs create tank/datasets
…

ZFS was installed with simply: sudo apt install zfsutils-linux
Smart data reads Ok with no values changing.
Have not run memtest yet. Brand new system.
I can’t rule out the Sata cables, they are brand new. I just bought a set of 8 to hopefully avoid any issues like this.

Got some dmesg of the issue below:

The drives were white label ones shucked from 8tb easy stores?
Does anyone know if it might be like tler?
In the mean time, do you have a shot of the zpool status showing the pool errors?
And did you do a “zfs clear label” or whatever the command is before doing a scrub?

6

I did try zfs clear tank and even tried drives individually. Nothing brought them back except a reboot.

But as an update I found a single post about someone else having an issue with Asmedia chipset with ZFS so I moved the drives off to a different chipset. I’ve mashed on them for another 2 TBs so far and no longer have I/O errors.

However, it should be noted, the all the sata connections and power connections are different now, so it’s not exactly apples to apples comparison.

So for now problem gone, but not sure original cause?

Well, a minor victory is still a win?

I’ve been using zfs as a home user for a coulple of years, and 8tb drives in a z2 or less scares me- the resilver when full must take some time?

Yip, victory for now. Not sure the cause. I have 3 other drives that I need to consolidate data from. So I will put those on the previously used stat/power and see if issues crop up and maybe try to narrow it down.

This pool is mostly just a working pool to use, everything is backed up to two other sources.
When I can, I plan to order a few more drives to do an 8x8TB raidZ2.
But with my testing, now I know that I will need a good HBA.

OP i hope you are doing this just to play and learn. Nowhere was explicitly said you were doing this for just tests. ZFS is cool but not for primetime in Ubuntu land. Wait for the proper release so as to prevent future headaches.

I swapped to Fedora 31 because every version of 19.10 from Ubuntu, Pop_OS, etc anything using gnome 3.2.1 on those distros kept freezing up my machine. Fedora using Wayland and gnome 3.2.1 has been stable for two weeks.

Other than having to compile ZFS from scratch. Have had no issues. The ZFS is a media pool, and samba share for a windows 10 pass-through VM. Everything on the pool is regularly backed up. But seems fine so far.
