Not long ago, I had a problem where I couldn''t access a pool that was served up by a hardware raid card, after the raid card had been changed due to a hardware fault. As I recall, the devid of the devices in the pool didn''t match once the hardware had been changed. The solution to this problem appears to be that you export the pool and import it again. Now, what if that system had been using ZFS root? I have a hardware failure, I replace the raid card, the devid of the boot device changes. Will the system still boot properly? -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
