I've been reading this document, but it seems to cover working with either zpools already imported and with rpools (mirrored not raidz) which cause the system to fail to boot, but maybe I'm misreading some of it. > Versions of OpenSolaris after b128 have additional recovery capability > using the "zpool import -F" option. Ooo...that sounds promising, is this PSARC 2009/479 or something different? http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/6067-PSARC-2009479-zpool-recovery-support.html Since 2010.03 (aka 2010.someday) isn't coming anytime soon, can anyone recommend another distro with a LiveCD based on snv128 or later so I can try and give this a shot? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
