<p>The only fault of ZFS is it enables one to lose data at the PB
scale with little experience.<br>

<p>Even minimal monitoring of the array would have helped them to
avoid this episode.</p>
<p>Once you are using mechanical drives of more than a handful of
TB, RAIDZ3 vdevs are something to consider. Rebuild times are long
and bit error rates have not gone down in time.<br>
The ServeTheHome RAID reliability calculator is a useful tool
(that might make you rethink your array):<br>

I don't think that has much to do with ZFS :-)<br>
<br>
I was slightly puzzled at their first move to remove the
drives that<br>
were still working but had errors. With that many failed
disks in the<br>
array, wouldn't it have been a better strategy to try to get
everything<br>
into a good state before replacing entire drives?<br>
