A few months ago I installed 7.0-CURRENT in order to migrate to zfs.  At the
time when I was copying files from a geo concat volume to the zfs pool the
server would freeze (unresponsive to pings).  I figured this was the nature
of CURRENT and moved on.  Yesterday I recompiled the kernel from the latest
source and the issue persists.

The issue is that one of the old drives is experiencing a hardware failure.
 When ever it is accessed (from geo concat or added to the zfs pool and
scurbed) the server freezes, requiring a power cycle.

I know that current isn't for the average user, which I am.  But I figured I
would report this and am willing to help diagnose the issue.

The drive passes SMART selftests and returns healthy status, but has
reported over 500 errors.  I am going to send the drive in for replacement
soon.

Let me know what I can do to help.

-Dan
