NSS maintenance

[bytehd]

Does NSS use the S.M.A.R.T data from its drives?
Do SATA or SCSI or Serial SCSI report drive failures?
Should you take the pools offline for a check Periodically?

i do nothing with the pools
if i had an issue then i would run a diag

no idea about sata
only disks i have ever used server wise are scsi or fibre
sata are for home use

i think some people may do repairs regularly
quite unnessesari,y as they have came from windoze or older cne's where by it was considered good practice to vrepair after any kind of abend

I never run pool maintenance unless there is a specific problem that I am troubleshooting, usually after a hardware failure. It takes too long on larger systems and just isn't practical, nor necessary.

I avoid SATA, NON-RAID SCSI, and IDE storage systems. RAID1 minimum, usually for the OS partition. RAID 5 for data. anything less is an unacceptible risk.
