I grabbed a spare disc to make a root mirror with and it happened to have an old rpool from another installation on it. Anyway, it also seemed to have an EFI label, so I removed the partition, re-labeled it to SMI and created a Solaris II partition etc and made my mirror. While importing a pool from another controller''s set of discs, I noticed an `rpool import` enumerated the old rpool as well? Which begs the question, how do I purge this old data so I can stop seeing this? Is there a way to destroy by id#, or is there a known area of the disc I can overwrite with dd before I do this again? Thanks! jlc
This may not be the only way but I have used. # zpool <pool | id> newpool # zpool destroy newpool Regards Rodney Joseph L.
