Hi,
Now zpool status is referring to a device which does not even exist, though everything else is working fine:
Sine my initial posting, I had move my data to a larger disk, so I mirrored the rpool and removed the original disk. To make the system boot again, I also booted from cd, removed the zpool.cache and completely recreated the boot_archives (actually removed the files and ran bootadm -R <root> update-archive).
I cannot tell exactly what action has resolved the issue, but at any rate the view of ZFS is now consistent with reality again:
r...@haggis:~# echo|format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c1t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 55448 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /p...@0,0/pci103c,3...@1f,2/d...@0,0 Specify disk (enter its number): Specify disk (enter its number): r...@haggis:~# zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions. scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors Nils _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
