Greetings All,

 

I can't believe it didn't figure this out sooner.  First of all, a big thank
you to everyone who gave me advice and suggestions, especially Richard.  The
problem was with the -d switch.  When importing a pool if you specify -d and
a path it ONLY looks there.  So if I run:

 

# zpool import -d /var/zfs-log/ tank

 

It won't look for devices in /dev/dsk

Consequently running without -d /var/zfs-log/ it won't find the log device.
Here is the command that worked:

 

# zpool import -d /var/zfs-log -d /dev/dsk tank

 

And to make sure that this doesn't happen again (I have learned my lesson
this time) I have ordered two small SSD drives to put in a mirrored config
for the log device.  Thanks again to everyone and now I will get some
worry-free sleep :)

 

Andrew
