Recently I purchased two new 3 TB hard disk drives, one of which was loaned to a friend in need. The other I began using immediately for myself:
- added to a single-disk pool named tall (expansion, not mirroring)
- presented my first ever opportunity to experiment heavily with a multi-disk pool.
A recent example of goodness:
- Code: Select all
pool: tall

Issues (links to topics)
- Finder eject, reconnect, panic, type 14=page fault, zpool
- Unexpected resilver with neither redundancy nor replacement
- Trouble with a pool whilst DiskWarrior 4.4 made preparations
- … maybe more to follow.
Ultimately some of the issues may be trouble with my uses of the Mac, software and peripherals – not trouble with ZEVO – but I'd like to have this overview in the troubleshooting area. A point of reference.
Environment
- MacBookPro5,2
- 8 GB memory
- Mountain Lion
- frequent use of beta and pre-release software
- past use of an old USB 2.0 hub, Sitecom USB 2.0 Dock CN-022 (PDF)
- recent use of a new USB 2.0 hub.
The two hard disk drives in the affected pool (tall):
