Apologies for any confusion, but I am now able to give more output regarding the zpool fitz.
unknown# zfs list --> returns list of zfs file system fitz and related snapshots unknown# zpool status pool: fitz state: ONLINE status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions. scrub: none requested config: NAME SATE fitz ONLINE c2d0s7 ONLINE errors: No known data errors unknown# zpool upgrade -v This system is currently running ZFS version 3. the following versions are supported: ...... unknown# zfs mount --> lists the zfs pool as mounted as it should be at /fitz but 'zfs unmount fitz' returns 'cannot unmount 'fitz' : not currently mounted zpool import --> no pools available to import zpool import -d /fitz --> no pools available to import thanks, aric ================================================ I believe I am experiencing a similar, but more severe issue and I do not know how to resolve it. I used liveupgrade from s10u2 to NV b46 (via solaris express release). My second disk is zfs with the file system fitz. I did a 'zpool export fitz' Reboot with init 6 into new environment, NV b46, I get the following error: cannot mount '/fitz' : directory is not empty svc:/system/filesystem/local:default: WARNING: /usr/sbin/zfs mount -a failed: exit status 1 svc.startd[7]: svc:/system/filesystem/local:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/fs-local" failed with exit status 95. zfs list = nothing listed. There is already a /fitz directory filled with the zpool fitz files on mounted. Since filesystem/local svc won't start, I cannot start X, which is critical to using the computer. I now see that there was no real need to export the pool fitz and that I should have just imported it once in the new BE. How can I now solve this issue? (BTW, attempting to boot back into s10u2, the original BE, results in a kernel panic, so I cannot go back). thanks, aric _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
