Sorry Uwe, but the answer is yes. Assuming that your hardware is in order. I've read quite some msgs from you here recently and all of them make me think you're no fan of zfs at all. Why don't you quit using it and focus a little more on installing SunStudio
I would really like to NOT chase people away from ZFS for any reason. There's no need. ZFS is currently a little too expert-friendly. I'm used to ZFS, so when it shows me messages, I know what it's saying. But when I read them a second time, I always wonder if we could word them to be more approachable without losing the precision. I would like to see alternate wordings suggested in RFEs, since I think some folks had good suggestions. As an example of wording that needs an upgrade: > errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files: > <0xa6>:<0x4f002> Could we not offer a clue that this was in metadata, even if it is darned hard to print a meaningful path name? Obligatory positive message: I was rewiring my monitors yesterday to get them all on a switchable power bar, and bumped a power switch briefly. The old dual Opteron machine hosting my storage pool did not power up again after that. I had an external Firewire case the pool had been destined for, and so I removed the drives and put them in the external case, and plugged the case into my SunBlade 2500. 'zpool import -f' went nicely, and I didn't lose a thing. I don't think any other filesystem or OS would make a recovery operation like this any easier. Oh yeah, this was after a mostly-effortless ZFS-accelerated Live Upgrade from snv_91 to snv_112 (almost a year) on another box.
