This may be different in the latest opensolaris, but in the latest solaris, this is what I know: If a pool fails, and forces an ungraceful shutdown, then during the next bootup, the pool is treated as "currently in use by another system." The OS doesn't come up all the way; you have to power cycle again, and go into failsafe mode. Then you can "zpool import" I think requiring the -f or -F, and reboot again normal. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
