Hi, I'm hoping that I've just missed something obvious but here is my situation and question.
I have a ZFS pool created across 4 SATA drives, these were separate to my actual OpenSolaris install. The drive that had my OpenSolaris install crashed and was completely unrecoverable. Originally this OS drive was a PATA drive and the ZFS pool was on 4 SATA drives. I physically removed one of the SATA drives and put in a spare 80gig SATA drive to re-install my OS. When I had everything up and running I tried to import the ZFS pool and was presented with a faulted pool. Since the pool was unavailable there was nothing I could do to update the pool config to tell it not to look for now missing 4th drive. "zpool import -f" also failed. I then shutdown and booted into Benelix using a LiveCD and replaced the original 4th drive from the pool... even with this the pool was still faulted and could not be imported. So my question is if you lose your operating system how do you go about getting back at the ZFS pool that was originally created?
