I've never encountered that error myself, so I'm not at all sure this suggestion will work, but I did run into something similar and the answer was to install Windows on the drive and then pop the drive back in my server. Prior to that, OpenSolaris/ZFS "remembered" the disk and wouldn't let me

No, there won't be anything on the drive, I was just wondering if ZFS might get confused seeing a disk it knows about, but with no data on there. To be honest, on a single parity raid array with that many drives, I'd be buying another drive straight away. You've got no protection for your data ri

And I'm also wondering if it might be worth trying a different disk. I wonder if it's struggling now because it's seeing the same disk as it's already tried to use, or if the zeroing of the disk confused it. Do you have another drive of the same size you could try? -- This message posted from

Well you would think that would be the case, but the behavior is the same whether the disk is physically present or not. I can even use cfgadm to unconfigure the deevice and the pool will stay in the same state and not let me offline/detach/replace the vdev. also I don't have any spare ports un
