I've now tried changing the hostid using the code from http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5075254 NB: you need to leave this running in a separate terminal. This changes the start of "zpool import" to pool: storage2 id: 14701046672203578408 state: FAULTED status: The pool metadata is corrupted. action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data. The pool may be active on another system, but can be imported using the '-f' flag. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-72 but otherwise nothing is changed with respect to trying to import or clear the pool. The pool is 8TB and the machine has 4GB but as far as I can see via top the commands aren't failing due to a lack of memory. I'm a bit stumped now. The only thing else I can think to try is inserting c9t4d4 (the new drive) and removing c6t4d0 (which should be fine). The problem with this though is that it relies on c7t4d0 (which is faulty) and so it assumes that the errors can be cleared, the replace stopped and the drives swapped back before further errors happen. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
