That's close to impossible using that device alone, all labels and ueberblocks have been overwritten. Your best chance is to destroy pool2 and attach the device to the original pool again as a mirror device. It should resilver by itself. If the original pool is lost, your data is lost. Then, you can detach it and import it in some other system as an unmirrored pool. In other words: you don't have to create a pool to access one side of a mirror. After all, it;s a mirror, so the pool is already in place. >thank you all.
