similar to: "zpool import -f" not forceful enough?

Hello, I had snv_111b running for a while on a HP DL160G5. With two 16GB USB sticks comprising the mirrored rpool for boot. And four 1TB drives comprising another pool, pool1, for data. So that''s been working just fine for a few months. Yesterday I get it into my mind to upgrade the OS to latest, then was snv_127. That worked, and all was well. Also did an upgrade to the

Banging my head against a Seagate 3TB USB3 drive.

Hello, I have a dual boot with Windows 7 64 bit enterprise edition and Opensolaris build 134. This is on Sun Ultra 40 M1 workstation. Three hard drives, 2 in ZFS mirror, 1 is shared with Windows. Last 2 days I was working in Windows. I didn''t touch the hard drives in any way except I once opened Disk Management to figure out why a external USB hard drive is not being listed.

Hi, my system (solaris b77) was physically destroyed and i loosed data saved in a zpool mirror. The only thing left is a dettached vdev from the pool. I''m aware that uberblock is gone and that i can''t import the pool. But i still hope their is a way or a tool (like tct http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/) i can go too recover at least partially some data) thanks in advance for

On Solaris 10 If I install using ZFS root on only one drive is there a way to add another drive as a mirror later? Sorry if this was discussed already. I searched the archives and couldn''t find the answer. Thank you.

Hi all, I have a 5 drive RAIDZ volume with data that I''d like to recover. The long story runs roughly: 1) The volume was running fine under FreeBSD on motherboard SATA controllers. 2) Two drives were moved to a HP P411 SAS/SATA controller 3) I *think* the HP controllers wrote some volume information to the end of each disk (hence no more ZFS labels 2,3) 4) In its "auto

We have a production SunFireV240 that had a zfs mirror until this week. One of the drives (c1t3d0) in the mirror failed. The system was shutdown and the bad disk replaced without an export. I don''t know what happened next but by the time I got involved there was no evidence that the remaining good disk (c1t2d0) had ever been part of a ZFS mirror. Using dd on the raw device I can see data

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub

Folks, I am learning more about zfs storage. It appears, zfs pool can be created on a raw disk. There is no need to create any partitions, etc. on the disk. Does this mean there is no need to run "format" on a raw disk? I have added a new disk to my system. It shows up as /dev/rdsk/c8t1d0s0. Do I need to format it before I convert it to zfs storage? Or, can I simply use it as: # zfs

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. I am trying to move the root volume from an existing svm mirror to a zfs root. The machine is a Sun V880 (SPARC) running nv_96, with OBP version 4.22.34 which is AFAICT the latest. The svm mirror was constructed as follows / d4 m 18GB d14 d14 s 35GB c1t0d0s0 d24 s 35GB c1t1d0s0 swap d3

Hello, Experts. I''ve got a problem. I''m trying to expand my main zpool (rpool), but don''t know how to do that. (i''m 100% newbie in non-windows world) I use Osol under Vmware on Windows. I had a pretty small vhdd -> only 12gb. Yesterday i decided to expand my virtual drive to 20gb. (After several tries to upgrade the OS to a newest dev-releases and

Let me preface this by admitting that I''m a bonehead. I had a mirrored a zfs filesystem. I needed to use one of the mirrors temporarily so I did a zpool detach to remove the member (call it disk1) leaving disk0 in the pool. However, after the detach I mistakenly wiped disk0. So here is the question. I haven''t touched disk1 yet so the data is hopefully still there. Is there

While testing a zpool with a different storage adapter using my "blkdev" device, I did a test which made a disk unavailable -- all attempts to read from it report EIO. I expected my configuration (which is a 3 disk test, with 2 disks in a RAIDZ and a hot spare) to work where the hot spare would automatically be activated. But I''m finding that ZFS does not behave this way

Greetings, my Opensolaris 06/2009 installation on an Thinkpad x60 notebook is a little unstable. From the symptoms during installation it seems that there might be something with the ahci driver. No problem with the Opensolaris LiveCD system. Some weeks ago during copy of about 2 GB from a USB stick to the zfs filesystem, the system froze and afterwards refused to boot. Now when investigating

I''ve been trying to get either smartctl or sg3_utils to report properly. They both have the same low-level problems which leads me to suspect either I''m doing something wrong OR there is a problem in the marvell88sx / sd / SATA etc framework. I can access drive name/serial number of all drives on the SAT2 card and the temperature is returned from the IE log page on my two

i'm trying to use rsync to mirror my server boot volume to another disk of the same size (120gb) on the same machine: % sudo rsync -avxuH --delete --progress /./ /volumes/cbc.server2/ although all of the files from the source volume appear to copy to the destination, if i try to boot from the destination volume the system doesn't recognize it as a bootable disk. anyone have any
