Hi Marlanne,
I can import a pool that is created with files on a system running the
Solaris 10 10/09 release. See the output below.
This could be a regression from a previous Solaris release, although I
can't reproduce it, but creating a pool with files is not a recommended
practice as described in the zpool.1m man page.
You are correct also in that you cannot import a pool that is created
with files on another system. I don't think this operation was ever
intended to be used on a pool that is created with files.
Thanks,
Cindy

I would not like to be classified as a spammer. But can anyone help me about
this ?
If mkfile-created pools cannot be re-imported, it may be a concern to some
customers.
Thanks for a reply.
