configuration exactly."
Actually, you can learn most of it, if not all of it you need.
Do "zpool import -f" with no pool name and it should dump the issue with the
pool (what is making it fail.) If that doesn't contain privileged info post it
here.
The make a table, and run zdb -l on every disk (like zdb -l /dev/c8t1d0) to
record the guid of the device and look at the vdev info to determine which
"/dev/" file had that device. With that info, you can put the disks back in
the original order (provided you have the same controller hardware.) Even if
you don't have the same controller hardware, making a directory of symbolic
links ("ln -s") to the current devices as the old device names and using "-d
/tmp/dir" to import will have it use the old names.
I'd also be interested from other parties, as to why shuffling them back into
proper order is required. As I understood, that was a feature of zfs but it
certainly didn't work for me.
