I'll add my 2 cents, since I just suffered some pretty bad pool corruption a few months ago and went through a lot of pain to get most of it restored. See http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=512687 for the gory details.
Steps you should take: 1) as mentioned above, delete (or rename) /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. This should allow you to get to the system, without the pools trying to be mounted 2) get a hold of either solaris express or openindiana USB boot, and once booted, try to run zpool import -nfFX 3) if you can import the pool, then if some zfs filesystems are missing or corrupt, use zdb to find the missing ids, then try to clone the filesystem. Or clone the snapshot. I'd only use the zfs forensics tool as a last resort, since I believe that in solaris express and openindiana, the built-in pool recovery tools are equivalent/better. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
