Thanks for the great tips. I did some more testing and indeed it was a version issue. The pool was created under: # zpool upgrade This system is currently running ZFS version 14.
whereas I tried it on systems with versions 10 and 12. It could be imported on a newer system using -f option. I suppose it did not auto mount the pool because it had the same name as existing pools. Is this a known issue with ZFS ? I assume because of this portability issue ZFS is not really suitable for use on removable media such as USB drives that are intended to be mounted on different hosts which may have different Solaris versions. It may be better to stick with UFS for this case. /KarlD -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
