To make a long story short, after a Solaris reinstall I needed to access
a disk from the previous install. I realize now I should have done a
zpool import, but instead I recreated the pool, thinking this would
bring my file system back. I destroyed the new pool, but other than that
I have done nothing to overwrite data.
Is it possible to recover the data from the old pool?
Yes, restore your last backup to a zfs filesystem in a newly
created pool.
If you don't have a backup, there is no way, because the new
pool has overwritten all labels, ueberblocks and pointer
blocks of the original pool.
That's what I was afraid of...
I do have a backup, but older than I'd like. I'll write this one down to
experience; it's nice to have confirmation in any case.
Thanks for the answer.
