Symptoms

On an iSCSI or FC client, a filesystem residing on a ZFSSA LUN has become read-only.

The client system log reports write failures due to "Medium Errors".

Example - on a Linux client:

 

After running a filesystem check (fsck, e2fsck), the filesystem can be mounted read/write.  But when resuming write operations, it goes back to read-only.

Note:

 if you try and delete a lun when there is no space you get the following error:

error: An unanticipated system error occurred: cannot set property for
<POOL_NAME/Path=<PATH>
out of space
