Can't be. zfs can't boot from a whole disk pool on x86 (maybe sparc too). You have a single solaris partition with the root pool on it. I am only being pedantic because "whole disk" has a special meaning to zfs, distinct from "a single partition using the entire disk". ...
If I detach a drive from the pool, then the system also correctly boots off a single connected drive. However, reattaching the 2nd drive causes a whole resilver to occur.
By "detach" do you mean running "zpool detach", or simply removing the drive physically without running any command? I suppose the former because if you just remove it I'd think you'd have the same non-booting problem. If that's right, then that is the expected behavior. "zpool detach" causes zfs to forget everything it knows about the device being detached. -frank _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
