With the proviso that you should ideally be using a version of OpenSolaris later than snv_128 which allows you to go back a previous uberblock/txg in case the more recent one(s) are not viable: "zpool recovery support" http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/479/ "need a way to rollback to an uberblock from a previous txg" http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6667683 http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/6067-PSARC-2009479-zpool-recovery-a.html If you're at ZFSv20 or later, you're pretty much guaranteed to have this functionality: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zfs/20 I'm hoping this, and slogs removal are incorporated into Solaris-proper soon: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zfs/19 _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
