zfs discuss - Jan 2008 - zpool remove problem

I have a pool with 3 partitions in it.  However, one of them is no longer valid,
the disk was removed and modified so that the original partition is no longer
available.  I cannot get zpool to remove it from the pool.  How do I tell zfs to
take this item out of the pool if not with "zfs remove" ?

Thanks,
   Wyllys


here is my pool:
zpool status
  pool: bigpool
 state: FAULTED
status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data
        corruption.  Applications may be affected.
action: Restore the file in question if possible.  Otherwise restore the
        entire pool from backup.
   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        bigpool     FAULTED      0     0     0  insufficient replicas
          c0d1s7    ONLINE       0     0     0
          c0d0p4    UNAVAIL      0     0     0  cannot open
          c0d0s2    ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: 1 data errors, use ''-v'' for a list


I want to remove c0d0p4:
# zpool remove bigpool c0d0p4
cannot remove c0d0p4: only inactive hot spares or cache devices can be removed

Use replace, not remove.

That doesn''t work either.

I ended up destroying the entire pool and starting over.  There was a lot of
data already in there, but it wasn''t critical, luckily.

The zpool replace command didn''t work?  You wouldn''t happen to
have a copy
of the errors you received, would you?  I''d like to see that.

hi,

I think you use the following command

[b]jkt:/# zpool destroy <pool name>[/b]

Hope it helps.
