If you boot from usb and move your rpool from one port to another, you can't boot. If you plug your boot sata drive into a different port on the motherboard, you can't boot. Apparently if you are missing a device from your rpool mirror, you can't boot. I haven't tried booting in single user mode in any of these cases because it's been easier to undo the change. If it was possible to pass in a flag from grub to ignore the cache, it would make life a little easier in such cases. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
