Can you please comment further on the failure of this setting using mpt_sas? It sounds like what you’re saying is, this setting should in theory work, but the driver is causing issues and it never gets to the ZFS level to use this setting. Is that right? Did you test using the known bad drive from the beginning of the article? Any other details would be appreciated if you have them.

Thanks

I solved the problem by yanking that drive out and throwing it in the bin… Didn’t know about this then! :)

Thanks for the comment about the timeout, it’s a good suggestion.

However in testing with failing harddrives (on mpt_sas anyway), we see that the sd timeouts are completely ignored so my entire post above is moot!

actually, if I check config.log, it appears that /usr/include/ mcrypt.h is missing

and I do not have it anywhere

Do you have it and where did you get it ?

Thanks
