Attempting to roll back zfs transactions on a disk to recover a destroyed ZFS filesystem

2013-07-11 Thread Reid Linnemann
So recently I was trying to transfer a root-on-ZFS zpool from one pair of disks to a single, larger disk. As I am wont to do, I botched the transfer up and decided to destroy the ZFS filesystems on the destination and start again. Naturally I was up late working on this, being sloppy and drowsy wit

Will, Thanks, that makes sense. I know this is all a crap shoot, but I've really got nothing to lose at this point, so this is just a good opportunity to rummage around the internals of ZFS and learn a few things. I might even get lucky and recover some data! On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 10:59 AM, Wi
