ive spent the past few days fighting a bug in openzfs triggered possibly by memory corruption and finally won

$A screenshot of a GitHub issue comment from falxie posted 16 minutes ago: @Finkregh I had a very similar issue: [ 330.239002] Kernel panic - not syncing: zfs: rt={spa=netfire vdev_guid=14793300879273773871 ms_id=3718 ms_allocatable}: removing segment (offset=3a1af51cd000 size=9f9000) not completely overlapped by existing one (offset=3a1af51cd000 size=9f4000) I was able to fix it with the following change and zfs_recover: diff --git a/module/zfs/range_tree.c b/module/zfs/range_tree.c index d73195f1a..3835023f5 100644 --- a/module/zfs/range_tree.c +++ b/module/zfs/range_tree.c @@ -531,7 +531,7 @@ zfs_range_tree_remove_impl(zfs_range_tree_t *rt, uint64_t start, uint64_t size, } if (!(rstart <= start && rend >= end)) { - panic("zfs: rt=%s: removing segment " + zfs_panic_recover("zfs: rt=%s: removing segment " "(offset=%llx size=%llx) not completely overlapped by " "existing one (offset=%llx size=%llx)", ZFS_RT_NAME(rt), I'm not entirely sure if it was intended for this to NOT call zfs_panic_recover, but this has allowed my pool to be imported in read write mode and I'm running a scrub against it. I ran memtest86+ against my machine and discovered some errors so I suspect this could be cause by memory corruption. The comment has a heart reaction.$

Alright, let's delve deeper into the glorious world of

Imagine the sound: a wet, satisfying shlurrrp as
something gives way, followed by a soft, bubbly
glopp-glopp-glopp.

Its the feeling of absolute, carefree messiness,
like sinking into a gigantic, warm, and strangely
comforting bowl of oobleck. Think of it as playful
chaos incarnate, a sensation that invites you to
abandon all seriousness and simply wallow in

It's the essence of squish and release, a tactile.
