Dominik,

You overwrite your data when you recreated a pool with the same
name and the same disks with zpool create.

If I try to recreate a pool that already exists, at least exported,
I will see a message similar to the following:

# zpool create tank c3t3d0
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/dsk/c3t3d0s0 is part of exported or potentially active ZFS pool tank. Please see zpool(1M).

Did you attempt to import the pool prior to the zpool create?

Thanks,

Cindy

Those of you who have read my previous post know that I was trying to 
reassemble a raidz after a complete reinstall of the OS on a Mac running 
zfs-119. In a fit of impatience, I executed the zpool create command on the 
three volumes, two of which were part of the old raidz, the third one having 
replaced the third old one, which had died. This did succeed in creating a 
raidz on my system, but all the original information is gone, leading me to 
believe that I caused the old information to be erased or at least inaccessible.

Can any of you please clue me in?
