Mastan, Import/Export are pool level commands whereas mount/unmount are file system level commands, both serving different purposes. You would typically 'export' a pool when you want to connect the storage to a different machine and 'import' the pool there for subsequent use in that machine, which could even be of different endianness. mount on the other hand is for the purpose of attaching a file system to the file system hierarchy at the mount point, just like the way any other file system is accessed.

If you have a responsive shell, may be you can check the threadlist and that may give some clues on where the commands are hung. You can use the following command to gather the threadlist. echo "::threadlist -v" | mdb -k > I am not much aware of debug tools, Can any one explain how to debug > coredump ? A good starting point would be the Solaris Modular Debugger Guide at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2543?l=en&q=mdb Cheers, Vidya Sakar dudekula mastan wrote: > Hi All, > > Can any one explain this ? > > -Mashtan D > > > */dudekula mastan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/* wrote: > > > Hi All, > > What exactly import and export commands will do ? > > Are they similar to mount and unmount ? > > How import differs from mount and how export differs from umount ? > > If you run zpool import command, it will lists all theimportable > zpools and the devices which are part of those zpools.
