Huh, how about that -- in my case the dd replicated slog was recognized but import still complained about missing devices; however, using cat instead of dd did indeed work correctly. I was able to dump the slog using cat from the SSD, remove the SSD from the system, restore the dump using cat onto a completely different drive in a different bay and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip, now if I can just iron out my issue with fma reporting the Intel SSD having failed self test and marking it faulty I'll be in good shape. > A question I have is, does "zpool replace" now work for slog devices as > of snv_111b? I actually used that a couple of times under S10U6 while testing slog migration, as far as I can tell it worked fine? Thanks... -- Paul B.
