Corrupt ZFS pool recovery

Posted in zfs by Drew Perttula at 2009-09-25T19:06:43+00:00

Here's a ZFS repair success story:

I'm using zfs-fuse on linux. I had an already-weird setup where a replace operation wouldn't finish:

	  pool: stor3                                                  
	 state: DEGRADED
	config:

		stor3                      DEGRADED
		  mirror                   DEGRADED
		    sdd                    ONLINE
		    replacing              DEGRADED
		      3323475527286891755  UNAVAIL  cannot open
		      sdb                  ONLINE

The disk called sdb was making ATA resets in my dmesg log, and one night when I ran 'fdisk -l', the machine rebooted entirely. I didn't even know linux would do that.

On reboot, the volume wouldn't mount. (These commands are running at the same time in two shells.)

    slash(pts/1):/tmp/zfs/src% sudo /usr/local/sbin/zfs-fuse --no-daemon 
    lib/libzpool/dmu.c:610: dmu_write: Assertion `0 == dmu_buf_hold_array(os, object, offset, 
size, FALSE, FTAG, &numbufs, &dbp)` failed.
    zsh: abort      sudo /usr/local/sbin/zfs-fuse --no-daemon

    slash(pts/3):/tmp/zfs/src# zfs mount stor3
    zfsfuse_ioctl_read_loop(): file descriptor closed
    cannot mount 'stor3': Input/output error

I got a new disk and dd'ed the data from sdd to a 500GB file. It broke around 400GB. I think dd has some don't-stop-on-errors options, but what I really wanted was ddrescue, which logs and retries bad blocks. In the end, I had 77kB of errors in 152 places. This doesn't seem like a high number to me at all. Zfs would have used its mirror to notice those kinds of errors, but for this catastrophic failure I don't (think I) care about that few errors.

I tried a lot of zpool import combinations on zfs-fuse and an opensolaris live cd. Usually the result was that the zpool command would crash zfs-fuse or just hang on some lock. On solaris, I couldn't even kill the zpool command with a ctrl-c.

Here is some search bait showing the kinds of crashes and lockups I could get:

I found this article with another ZFS recovery story. In his solution, Nathan used dd to carefully write zeros over some of the uberblock structures on the disk. This makes ZFS pick slightly older uberblocks that hopefully aren't corrupt.

Since I already had the zfs-fuse source up, I just made the driver reject the newest uberblocks. This meant I didn't have to edit my 500GB file, which sounded like a pain (especially if I wanted to revert).

int
uberblock_verify(uberblock_t *ub)
{
	if (ub-<ub_magic == BSWAP_64((uint64_t)UBERBLOCK_MAGIC))
		byteswap_uint64_array(ub, sizeof (uberblock_t));

	printf("uberblock_verify block txg %lu time %lu ", ub-<ub_txg, ub-<ub_timestamp);

	if (ub-<ub_txg < 1058110) { 
	  printf("txg too new; skipping
");
	  return EINVAL;
	}

	if (ub-<ub_magic != UBERBLOCK_MAGIC) {
	  printf(" failed magic
");
		return (EINVAL);
	}
	printf(" ok
");
	return (0);
}

The first printf showed me the hundreds of historical (and duplicated) uberblocks on the disk. I picked a TransaXtion Group a few in from the end, and made uberblock_verify fail on the later ones.

This helped, but then spa_history_log failed to write its message to a log on the disk:

I disabled spa_history_log by having it return 0 at the top.

Finally, zpool started hanging here, and I didn't know what to do:

Some faraway code had the lock, and I don't have the right kind of debugger-fu.

Fortunately, Mark Musante from Sun visited the #zfs channel around this time. Upon seeing the last trace and reviewing some of the other context, he suggested disabling spa_sync entirely. This made the import succeed. 'zpool list' made the zfs-fuse process crash again, but as long as my only command is the 'zpool import', I am able to keep the filesystem mounted.

Mark was concerned about any writes happening on this hacked mount, including atime updates. I'm pretty sure I disabled atime long ago, and I'm not going to run any further zpool or zfs commands on here, just a big rsync read.

The following parties get donations or presents:

Mark Musante from the ZFS team at Sun
etherpad, for providing the whiteboard/live-pastebin I used with Mark
Antonio Diaz Diaz, for ddrescue
freenode, for hosting the #zfs IRC channel
zfs-fuse project

Other things I learned: opensolaris has an 'ath' driver for my laptop's wifi card which is much more reliable and quick to connect than the linux driver.

When you try to make an ssh tunnel like '-R 999:localhost:22' (for ssh'ing back the other way), ssh will silently fail when the port can't be opened (999 < 1024, so only root can use it).

Sun is still doing features for ZFS. (Mark: "We are working on an automatic uberblock rollback feature, which will be really handy.")

how did u disable spa_sync.
Could you elaborate just a bit about your hacking of the zfs code - whether it was on linux or sol and what files did u change, etc. ?
thanks!

To disable spa_sync, I just put a return at the top of the function in lib/libzpool/spa.c:
void
spa_sync(spa_t *spa, uint64_t txg)
{
return;
...
I did this on linux, where it was easy for me to rebuild and restart the filesystem. To rebuild, just run 'scons', and to restart, just rerun the zfs-fuse process and then try commands like cmd/zpool/zpool.

Doctor Who is now considered a British Institute and has come a long way since it first aired on November 23rd 1963. The very first show saw the Doctor travel 100,00 years into the past to help some dim cavemen discover light. After 26 seasons and seven Doctors later the series came off our screens in 1989 much to the disappointment of the huge devoted fanbase. In 1996 an attempt was made to revive Doctor Who but it wasnt until June 2005 when it came back with a vengeance with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor that put the series back on the map as it were. It then went on for 5 years with David Tenant portraying the Doctor until 2010 when Matt Smith took over the role. Today it is still a great family show and has attracted many new fans. If youre a new or old fan of the show there are Tours and museums you can go and see some of the locations and memorabilia of this classic show. The Doctor Who Tour of London will take you on over 15 locations from the show, some from the new series and some from old sites like the location of The Invasion and Resurrection of the Darleks. The tour also takes you to the TV museum in London where you will get to see some of the cosumes worn in the show and props used. Also you can buy gifts and memorabilia from the shop. You will learn all about how the shows were made so the tour is also educational. If you want to take pictures of the locations thats not a problem. Remember the front door of 10 Downing Street in Aliens of London? Well you can get up and close to this and get your picture taken in front of the door. Rose Tyler fans will love the tour as you get to drop by her home in the show. Why not go that extra mile and actually meet a Doctor Who star. Well this is possible with private or group tours. You will get the general tour but included will be a pre-arranged meeting or lunch with a celebrity from the show. This will obviously depend on availability of the celebrity and the cost will reflect the popularity of that celebrity. There are tours in London and also Wales. The Wales tours take you to Cardiff where you will see lots of location which were featured in shows since 2005. You can leave from London or at Leigh Delamere services station on the M4. There is a Doctor Who exhibition in Cardiff which you get to see. At the end of the Doctor Who tour you get a souvenir group picture sent you by email which is a nice touch. For seriously devoted Doctor Who fans there is a 3 day tour which takes you to all the locations in both London and Cardiff. You will see locations from the past 45 years as well as recent sites from the lasted Doctor Who series. Day one is based in London where you get to see 15 sites. Day two takes you to Cardiff where you get to mean the real life owner of the to see we have an Gothic property used as the location of the school in Human Nature. The final day is partly spent in Cardiff with a walking tour at Cardiff Bay, then you head back to London but a stop at Stonehenge to see the site of the Pandoica. Then its dinner at The Cloven Hoof pub in Devils End b efore you taken back to central London.

Some people, especially those running on busy daily schedules tend to use the pills to help maintain weight since they can not afford to follow all the diet programs. This is not advised. It is recommended that one seek advice from a professional in this field before using the pills. This can save one from many dangers associated with the misuse. The diet pills should always be taken whole. Some people tend to divide the pills to serve a longer period of time. This is not advised and can lead to ineffectiveness. If it is required that one takes a complete tablet, it means that a certain amount of the ingredients are required to achieve the desired goal. It is also recommended that one does not crush the pill and dissolve it in beverages. Chemicals found in beverages have the potential of neutralizing the desired nutrients in the pill thereby leading to ineffectiveness. The best way to take the tablets is swallowing them whole with a glass of water. The diet pills speed up the metabolic processes. This is the key factor that leads to the burning of all the fats in the body. This means that one passes out lots of urine, which subsequently leads to dehydration. It is imperative that the user take lots of water round the clock. This will help curb dehydration, which can lead to health problems. In addition to that, water offers the required medium for the function of the nutrients and elimination of the fats. When buying the review of diet pills, it is imperative that one gets the most recommended dose. People tend to compromise the quality and effectiveness of the tablets due to the variation in cost. The low priced pills depict poor quality, which means their effectiveness is not reliable. Some have also been found to cause health problems. The dose should also be taken as recommended. Over dose will not speed up the process but rather lead to complication. This will increase risk of side effects. If the taking of the pill is forgotten, do not take more to compensate for the lost time. The diet plan enclosed with the diet pills has also to be followed. According to the requirements, the termination of the diet must be done even with no results. This means your body is irresponsive.
