Just want to update this: zpool scrub on the bkp2pool finished with zero errors found, but the
filesystem corruption noticed in the main pool (tank/home) has been faithfully reproduced.
That is: I have a directory Maildir.bad that echo .* shows:
Maildir.bad/. Maildir.bad/.. Maildir.bad/.AppleDouble Maildir.bad/.Suppliers.2010 Maildir.bad/.Unix
But the .Suppliers.2010 entry does not seem to have an inode number (let alone an inode):
$ ls -ai Maildir.bad returns:
ls: .Suppliers.2010: No such file or directory
7906 .
7810 ..
82016 .AppleDouble
80774 .Unix
Is this not terminally weird? Is there any way to de-confuse ZFS?
Since memtest86+ did not seem to boot properly on this system, I've ordered new memory (twice as
much: will be 8G now.) Also ordered a UPS. We'll see if that helps with anything.
Cheers,
