Problem solved! steps: 1. boot from USB stick with last build (CD) 2. make a backup copy of HDD to other pool: # dd if=/dev/dsk/v14t0d0p0 of=/export/files/my80gb.raw 3. run "Install OpenSolaris" and choose the same parameters, as it was in previous run: 80gb disk, "Entire disk", wait untill installation finished and Quit it 4. restore all but first 8mb of HDD: # dd if=/export/files/my80gb.raw of=/dev/dsk/v14t0d0p0 bs=512 seek=16384 skip=16384 after this operations old rpool become available!
P.S.: before going this not so short way, I tried to recreate fdisk partitions and solaris partitions (I need s0) with format utility. but format found some "alternative" partition number 9 on 1-2 cylinders which I cannot modify, so s0 "root" can only be created starting from 3 cylinder, but installer creates in starting from 1 cylinder -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
