Hi all,
I know the easiest answer to this question is "don't do it in the first
place, and if you do, you should have a backup", however I'll ask it
regardless.
Is there a way to backup the ZFS metadata on each member device of a pool
to another device (possibly non-ZFS)?
I have recently read a
Hi all,
this is a follow up some help I was soliciting with my corrupted pool.
The short story is I can have no confidence in the quality in the labels on 2
of my 5 drive RAIDZ array. For various reasons.
There is a possibility even that one drive has label of another (a mirroring
accident).

Hi Stefan,
when you say remove the device, I assume you mean

The long story runs roughly:
1) The volume was running fine under FreeBSD on motherboard SATA controllers.
2) Two drives were moved to a HP P411 SAS/SATA controller
3) I *think* the HP controllers wrote some volume informa
