RAID 5 Issue

Hi there,

I need help regarding RAID 5. I created a metadisk device RAID 5 and I have been having problems with it. One slice is currently under Maintenance and the other one is Last Erred. The one that is maintenance is currently resyncing but the problem is it would stop eventually and be back to maintenance.

d30: RAID
State: Resyncing
Invoke: metareplace -f d30 c4t4d0s6 <new device>
Resync in progress: 13.4% done
Hot spare pool: hsp002
Interlace: 32 blocks
Size: 335540016 blocks (159 GB)
Original device:
Size: 335541120 blocks (159 GB)
Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare
c4t0d0s6 3219 No Okay Yes
c4t1d0s6 3219 No Okay Yes
c4t8d0s6 3219 No Resyncing Yes
c4t3d0s6 3219 No Okay Yes
c4t4d0s6 3219 No Last Erred Yes
c4t5d0s6 3219 No Okay Yes

hsp002: 4 hot spares
Device Status Length Reloc
c4t9d0s6 Available 67111470 blocks Yes
c4t10d0s6 Available 67111470 blocks Yes
c4t11d0s6 Available 67111470 blocks Yes
c4t2d0s6 Available 67111470 blocks Yes

What am I to do? Please help. Thank you!

It's unfortunate but it seems you have what ammounts to 2 failed disks in a system where you only have (distributed) single disk redundancy. It is probable that your only option is to restore from backup.
