This can happen if slice0 is size 0. KISS would say to do: zpool create marketData raidz2 \ c0t5000C5001A6B9C5Ed0 \ c0t5000C5001A81E100d0 \ c0t5000C500268C0576d0 \ c0t5000C500268C5414d0 \ c0t5000C500268CFA6Bd0 c0t5000C500268D0821d0 This method will create slice0 (s0) as the full disk, on your behalf. -- richard > > Can anyone give me some clues as to what is wrong? > > I have included the zpool status and format output from my system > > > [b]ZPOOL STATUS[/b] > r...@dnokes.homeip.net:~# zpool status > pool: rpool > state: ONLINE > status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format.
