Hi
I have a system with ZFS V28 on FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE which I use primarily as media & backup server. I have a RAIDZ pool with 5 2TB disks, machine is X64 with 8GB RAM and boots off a separate UFS filesystem on a separate 1TB disk. It has been running very stable except for the issue below.
I have now 2x had the same problem:
At first I thought this was maybe a problem related to Samba (first time it happened was when I deleted the files on a Samba share). However, this time I was in a terminal window and did an rm -r of the directory.
Unfortunately I am not in a position to dump any information from the server at the moment - previously a reboot managed to recover the system after some time but at the moment it has not recovered yet (after 1 hour?). I am running a headless config so I will have to move the server to connect a monitor & keyboard tomorrow some time. After work - here in the Middle East Sunday is a working day :\
Has anybody experienced something similar, or has any advice?
thanks
Malan

I have now 2x had the same problem:
- Create a backup share with dedup on, SHA256 + verify on, compress=gzip.
- Backup many large files onto it (in this case +- 70 files of 2 GB in size).
- Delete the files (or directory).
- After a while not possible to access server anymore (Apache webserver not working, SSH remote access not working).
- Still possible to "ping" server.
