I wonder if one prob is that you already have an rpool when you are booted of the CD. could you do zpool import rpool rpool2 to rename?
also if system keeps rebooting on crash you could add these to your /etc/system (but not if you are booting from disk) set zfs:zfs_recover=1 set aok=1 that solved a import/reboot loop I had a few months -----Original Message----- From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org on behalf of Vladimir Novakovic Sent: Wed 8/12/2009 8:49 AM To: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: [zfs-discuss] zpool import -f rpool hangs I had the rpool with two sata disks in the miror. Solaris 10 5.10 Generic_141415-08 i86pc i386 i86pc Unfortunately the first disk with grub loader has failed with unrecoverable block write/read errors. Now I have the problem to import rpool after the first disk has failed. So I decided to do: "zpool import -f rpool" only with second disk, but it's hangs and the system is rebooting. I have tried to import to the fresh Solaris 10 05/09, also I've tried Solaris CD in single user mode and OpenSolaris 2009.11 live CD but all systems are panic and restarting. I can see that pool is existing. Labels are readable from both disks. What can I do to check and to recover data from the second disk. I have few equal disks that I can use to make a clone of the second disk. Would it be possible to do it with dd command and than try to use this clone to find out how to recover from this situation?
