Do you guys have any more information about this? I've tried the offset methods, zfs_recover, aok=1, mounting read only, yada yada, with still 0 luck. I have about 3TBs of data on my array, and I would REALLY hate to lose it. Thanks! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _

A little update on the subject. After great help of Victor Latushkin the content of the pools is recovered. The cause of the problem is still under investigation, but what is clear that both config objects where corrupted. What has been done to recover data: Victor has a zfs module which allows

To further clarify Will's point... Your current setup provides excellent hardware protection, but absolutely no data protection. ZFS provides excellent data protection when it has multiple copies of the data blocks (>1 hardware devices). Combine the two, provide >1 hardware devices to ZFS, and yo

There is a chance that a software bug or change has been made which will help you to recover from this. I suggest getting the latest SXCE DVD, booting single user, and attempt an import. Note: you may see a message indicating that you can upgrade the pool. Do not upgrade the pool if you intend t
