Could it be that c12t1d0 was at some time in the past (either in this machine or another machine) known as c3t11d0, and was part of a pool called "dbzpool"? > i tried: > fdisk -B /dev/rdsk/c12t1d0 > dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c12t1d0p0 bs=1024k > dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c12t1d0s2 bs=1024k > > but Solaris still has some association between c3t11 and c12t1. You'll need to give the same "dd" treatment to the end of the disk as well; ZFS puts copies of its labels at the beginning and at the end. Oh, and you can "fdisk -E /dev/rdsk/c12t1d0" to convert to a single, whole-disk EFI partition (non-VTOC style).
