an update to the above: I tried to run zdb -e on the pool id and here's the result: # zdb -e 12125153257763159358 zdb: can't open 12125153257763159358: I/O error
NB zdb seems to recognize the ID because runnig it with an incorrect ID gives me an error # zdb -e 12125153257763159354 zdb: can't open 12125153257763159354: No such file or directory Also zdb -e with the ID of the syspool works: # zdb -e 8843238790372298114 Uberblock magic = 0000000000bab10c version = 10 txg = 317369 guid_sum = 14131844542001965925 timestamp = 1222857640 UTC = Wed Oct 1 12:40:40 2008 Dataset mos [META], ID 0, cr_txg 4, 2.76M, 244 objects Dataset 8843238790372298114/export/home [ZPL], ID 60, cr_txg 721, 1.21G, 55 objects Dataset 8843238790372298114/export [ZPL], ID 54, cr_txg 718, 19.0K, 5 objects Dataset 8843238790372298114/swap [ZVOL], ID 28, cr_txg 15, 519M, 3 objects Dataset 8843238790372298114/ROOT/snv_90 [ZPL], ID 48, cr_txg 710, 6.85G, 254748 objects Dataset 8843238790372298114/ROOT [ZPL], ID 22, cr_txg 12, 18.0K, 4 objects Dataset 8843238790372298114/dump [ZVOL], ID 34, cr_txg 18, 512M, 3 objects Dataset 8843238790372298114 [ZPL], ID 5, cr_txg 4, 39.5K, 13 objects etc etc. ============= Any ideas? Could this be a hardware problem? I have no idea what to do next :-( thanks for your help!
