I did my first shared storage under OpenSolaris, bought the hardware and set it up. Gave up on OpenSolaris when Oracle pulled it's dog-in-a-manger act. Waited for FreeBSD and FreeNAS to get there. Just got it set up and running stably.
I was copying my first massive files transfers into my freenas box when one of two drives in a mirror started clicking and reporting sectors pending/unreadable.
The drive actually failed cold-dead during the file transfers. I was sitting here listening when it quit clicking.
The file transfers didn't stop or produce any errors at all. It just kept on ticking and a scrub shows degraded but no data errors at all.
Wow.
