My weekly zpool scrub
came back with this:
pool: blackhole
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors.
Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
degraded state.
action: Replace the faulted device, or use 'zpool clear' to mark the device
repaired.

I only got the drive 6 months ago, well within WD’s 3 year warranty so I opened a support case, but do errors like this basically always mean the drive is its way out or is it possible to have false positives?
I had the same problem months ago and I simply did clear and scrub. Never occurred again even if I noticed that the drive that failed is slower then the others (average access time is the double). I’ll change it in a couple of months, hoping it lasts until then
