antlets - DEGRADED

Morning,

After a reboot this morning on my antsle, I am getting in the zpool section: antlets - DEGRADED Does this mean that a hard drive is going bad or is there some maintenance that I can run. I have

You can type:

zpool status antlets

to see why it's degraded.

It may be a bad drive or could be something else.

When I reboot, I have an external pool that sometimes doesn't get mounted properly.

You can try:

zpool export antlets

then

zpool import antlets

to see if it will mount correctly.

I would also recommend taking advantage of either the mirroring or striping capabilities of zfs (which does reduce the amount if usable space, but it helpful when a drive dies).

I will try that and let you know. BTW this ticket is related to

OK ran a du -H /var/log and I like said before nothing really big! Did a zpool status antlets -v and got the following info attached. I think the culprit is highlighted in yellow. Could this cause the system to go down? If I delete this file will it all come back? Would this cause /dev/sda3 to get full. Also Like I said the system has the following:

Ok, I went ahead and deleted the ToolBox-1809.qcow2 file and rebooted, still nothing here is what I get at the logon attached. Still looks like there is some disk full somewhere. I am at a lost.

Ok I am back up and running now, I finally found the culprit hogging up the space /var/crash had a couple of directories that had 1 4.5 and 5GB files and 1 9GB that is why /dev/sda3 was full. After deleting those files everything booted up find and I am back up and running again. Thanks lacem for getting me poking around some more!
