Hi, Have a problem with a ZFS on a single device, this device is 48 1T SATA drives presented as a 42T LUN via hardware RAID 6 on a SAS bus which had a ZFS on it as a single device.
There was a problem with the SAS bus which caused various errors including the inevitable kernel panic, the thing came back up with 3 out of 4 zfs mounted. I've tried reading the partition table with format, works fine, also can dd the first 100G from the device quite happily so the communication issue appears resolved however the device just won't mount. Googling around I see that ZFS does have features designed to reduce the impact of corruption at a particular point, multiple meta data copies and so on, however commands to help me tidy up a zfs will only run once the thing has been mounted. Would be grateful for any ideas, relevant output here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zpool import pool: content id: 14205780542041739352 state: FAULTED status: The pool metadata is corrupted. action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.
