Regardless, I believe ZFS stores labels on each disk and is clever enough to figure out what is what even if the operating system name has changed. If I recall correctly, a zpool export (if possible) followed by a zpool import has always corrected this for me. Barring an actual disk failure (which could have failed to enumerate therefore throwing off naming) your data should be safe. --khd (mobile) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
