    I've been running an install on r151008.  rpool mirrored on two WD black
    160GB sata drives.  8 SAS nearline drives in a raid10.  Two samsung 840PRO
    128GB drives as l2arc.  The sas and l2arc drives are on an LSI HBA, and
    the rpool on motherboard sata ports.  Twice now, I've had drives disappear
    - the first time was one of the rpool drives, and yesterday one of the
    l2arc drives.  The symptom is that zpool status shows thousands of
    read/write errors and the drive is offlined.  If I run the format command,
    it shows that drive as 'unknown drive type'.  I apologize for not getting
    more specific data - the first time, I wrote off as an anomaly, but
    yesterday I really should have cut&pasted anything relevant.  Anyway, I'm
    puzzled that there seems no common hardware or driver factor.  The rpool
    drives are sata, and are using the sata-phy driver (I think that's what I
    dug out of prtconf -v), whereas, although the l2arc drives are sata, since
    they are on the lsi hba, they are using the sas-mpt driver.  I wasn't that
    concerned about yesterday's incident, since l2arc drives could both die
    suddenly and not take things down, but having rpool go bye-bye is not good
    - this is why I was paranoid and mirrored it.  Any ideas?  If this happens
    again, what should I look for?
