I believe I know enough to figure this out on my own, but there's usually some little "gotcha" that you don't think of until you hit it. I'm just betting that Cindy has already a procedure written for just this purpose. ;-)
In general, if you've been good about backing up your rpool via "zfs send," and then you're forced to restore onto bare metal, what would be the process? Also, precisely what should I be backing up via "zfs send" anyway? I see three filesystems of interest: NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 5.86G 13.7G 35.5K /rpool rpool/ROOT 4.33G 13.7G 18K legacy rpool/ROOT/s10x_u6wos_07b 4.33G 13.7G 3.98G / In particular, I have a system with the OS on disks mirrored by hardware. I need to upgrade those disks to a larger size, which cannot be done in-place because of the hardware mirroring. I plan to put in the larger disks, and use zfs software mirroring from now on. So I've got to backup my OS, and restore onto blank disks. And make it bootable.
