Thanks for the reply! I used the import -T method a few years ago to rescue a damaged pool, and was hoping I'd be able to use it again to help get me to a good place. This was with straight Solaris 11.4. Good idea to try 11.4 CBE, I'll upgrade and see if that changes anything.

(The following is on Solaris 11.4 on x86_64) Hey everyone, I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I have. There was some combination of power outage and power supply failure that produced corruption across my pool, making it unusable. I tried swapping out all hardware components piece...

If you have it installed without issues, then "fio-status -a" from a command prompt.

Sounds fishy to me, I've never had any problems with the SSD toolbox and the 3500 drives or 3700 drives.

Thank you, I just ordered one.

Bit-rot is something I have experienced as well, and also worry about. I was scared to get scared in proprietary hardware methods to combat it so I settled on a combination of ZFS along with scrubs, and a PAR2 with 10% recovery on things I care about the most (like all of the photos I take)...

Hey, unfortunately I couldn't get things working, but it was in the return window so I returned the unit and got another one, which worked fine

Hmm, it is still not a happy camper. I can't find out how to unload and load the driver in windows like on the unices. If y'all think that will work I can put this in another system and do that. C:\Windows\system32>fio-format /dev/fct1 /dev/fct1: Error detected. Device is not in a valid...

Dang, something was up with my notifications, I didn't see your suggestions until now. Will try unload and reload and a format and see if that cleans it up. It's a new (to me) card so I'm fine with blowing everything away. Thanks guys!

Hey everyone, I got a used ioDrive2 duo from e-bay and it has an issue I am trying to resolve. It is only starting up in minimal mode, due to "Device is missing midprom data" according to fio-status. I am running 3.2.8 which supports this card. In case it was a firmware mis-match, I tried...

Since a 1GB file is created essentially instantly, I figured it was empty, and when I use default 7-zip parameters, a 1GB file zips down to ~1.1MB, so yep.

Nice, thanks! In the past, I've always resorted to using dd on a unix system then transferring the files to a Windows system, this saves some time for cases when you don't care what the file is composed of.

I was being serious. I do something similar (and also with a Noctua) :) Your case looks more elegant with it though, my P182 doesn't quite wrap around it as well.

love that Noctua in the 5.25 bays!

Yes, good point about mentioning empty slots! I try to keep my PC quiet so I value having a space next to my video card (mandatory) and fusion-IOs (if possible).
