Yeah, still no joy. I moved the disks to another machine altogether with 8gb and a quad core intel versus the dual core amd I was using and it still just hangs the box on import. this time I did a nohup zpool import -fFX vault after booting off the b130 live dvd on this machine into single user text mode so I'd have minimal processes and the machine still hangs tighter than a drum. Can't even hit the enter and get a newline this way, probably because the bash process is locked. I've left it for 24 hours like this and will leave it for another day or two to see if it is actually doing anything behind the scenes. I guess my plan B will be to leave these disks in a closet and try again some time in the future and hopefully in some later build the kinks get all worked out enough with dedup to deal with my pool as I'd really not like to lose the data in this pool.

Are the drive lights blinking? If so, then let it do its work. Rebooting won't
help because when the pool is imported, the destroy will continue.  See
other recent threads in this forum on the subject for more insight.
