The zpool metadata is also on the disk. As long as the disks are fine, you can reconnect them to another server and import them. ZFS will be able to find the zpools (in this case raidz volume). -Manoj _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
