[PVE-User] ZFS-8000-8A on a non-system disk. How to do?

[Jan Vlach]

Hi,

having same number of checksum errors on all drives really means bad cabling or bad RAM. 

- if you have ECC RAM, check for errors in ipmitool i.e.
ipmitool sel elist
- you could see something in dmesg too.
- if you don't have ECC ram, get the memtest in UEFI mode from https://www.memtest86.com/ <https://www.memtest86.com/> take the host offline and let it run for day or two.

- I've seen this with Supermicro server where the cable for last two slots out of 10 was bent and touching the case lid and those two slots have been resetting the bus showing me increasing errors on all drives. Scrubs just changed the affected files and metadata, so I didn't trust the host anymore and consistency of data, restored everything from good backup to different one and then debugged.

- If at this point you want to backup and restore and you don't have backups, it's game over for you.
