zfs discuss - May 2008 - Best way to recover raidz pool after root filesystem crash

Hi,

I have been running Open Solaris NV42 for the past year for my home NAS.  Here
is my setup:-

root (ufs)  HD1
/tank - 4 HD running raidz configuration.

Yesterday, my root hard drive crash and I was not able to boot up my system
anymore.  My question are:

1.  What is the best way to recover in this situation ?
2.  Can I install the latest Open Solaris on a new harddrive and do "zpool
import" ? (-f ?)
3. What other commands I need to run in order to fully recover in this situation
?

Thanks.

Should be fine.

/tank will be restored, and NFS exports done through ZFS.. The rest of
the OS restoring will be up to you..
