Yep, I just tried it, and it refuses to "zpool import" the newer pool, telling me about the incompatible version. So I guess the pool format isn't the correct explanation for the Dick Davies' (number9) problem. On a S-x86 box running snv_68, ZFS version 7: # mkfile 256m /home/leo.nobackup/tmp/zpool_test.vdev # zpool create test_pool /home/leo.nobackup/tmp/zpool_test.vdev # zpool export test_pool On a S-sparc box running snv_61, ZFS version 3 (I get the same error on S-x86, running S10U2, ZFS version 2): # zpool import -d /home/leo.nobackup/tmp/ pool: test_pool id: 6231880247307261822 state: FAULTED status: The pool is formatted using an incompatible version. action: The pool cannot be imported. Access the pool on a system running newer software, or recreate the pool from backup. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-A5 config: test_pool UNAVAIL newer version /home/leo.nobackup/tmp//zpool_test.vdev ONLINE This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
