ZFS pool slow sequential read
I have a related question about this problem, but it got too complicated and too big, so I decided I should split up the issue into NFS and local issues. I have also tried asking about this on the zfs-discuss mailing list without much success.

Is it possible to detach and reattach a ZFS disk without requiring a full resilver?
I have a ZFS mirrored pool with four total drives. Two of the drives are intended to be used for rotating offsite backups. My expectation was that after the initial resilvering I could detach and later attach a disk and have it only do an…

ZFS vdevs accumulate checksum errors, but individual disks do not
I'm running a vendor-specific derivative of FreeNAS 9.3.
My trouble started when I installed a new JBOD chassis to add two new vdevs into my pool, and the chassis had a bad board. During this time, I was seeing SAS power errors on the drives on the…

I was using Freenas 8.2 and decided to upgrade to 9.2. All seem to go well, upgraded zfs to 28 and rebooted. During next boot it seem to take forever and at some point I decided to turn off the machine. I guess this is what caused the problem.
When…

Recovering/importing ZFS Linux pool with duplicate pool name
I did something very stupid today in attempting to add a third mirror to an existing Linux zpool named backup. Suffice it to say that I made a couple errors because I don't really do much admin with my ZFS other than swap disks every couple years. …

ZFS on Linux/Ubuntu: Help importing a zpool after Ubuntu upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, device IDs have changed
I have updated Ubuntu from version 13.04 to version 13.10, only to discover that the SATA disks IDs have changed, and my ZFS pool now fails.

FreeNAS: Renaming a zpool
Now that our server is set up, I would like to rename our zpools.
I read somewhere that the way to do this is export & re-import under the new name. But will all my mount points and shares remain intact? Or will I have to set those up again?

ZFS, raidz1: Why is the volume size (42T) so much smaller than the pool size (50T)?
I have a pool of 28 2TB-disks (56T) in 4 arrays of 7 disks. Since it's raidz1 (~RAID5), I'd expect 1 disk to be used for parity in each array, so the resulting volume should be 2TB*4*(7-1)=48TB, right?

$ zpool list…

ZFS pool degraded on reboot
I have a Ubuntu server set up with a 14-disk ZFS raidz2 pool.
About 80% of the time, on reboot, I will end up with a degraded pool with two of the disks marked as faulted. The drives that are faulted aren't always the same, but it is always exactly…
