Hello I even have this problem on my system. I lost my backup server crashing the system-hd and the ZIL-device. After setting up a new system (osol 2009.06 and updating to the latest osol/dev version with zpool-dedup) I tried to import my backup pool, but I can't. The system tells me there isn't any zpool tank1 trying to replace / detache / attach / add any kind of device or answers this: zpool import -f tank1 cannot import 'tank1': one or more devices is currently unavailable Destroy and re-create the pool from a backup source. While using options -F, -X, -V, -C, -D and any combination of them the same reaction comes from the system. There are some solutions for problems in which the old cachefile is available or the ZIL-device isn't destroyed, but for my case there isn't anyone. I need a way importing the zpool by ignoring the ZIL-device. I spend a week searching in the net, but didn't found something. For some help I would be very glad.
regards Ronny P.S. hoping you excuse my lousy English. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
