Hi all, I was attempting to mirror my root storage pool and apparently nuked or screwed up my vtoc. Using the format command, I have been able to now at least see the pool exists, but it is in a corrupt state. Talking to some others, they have instructed me that you may have more ideas as to what I should try. I installed Open Solaris to my entire harddrive and tried to mirror it to an external USB drive when this happened. This is my prtvtoc command output: jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s2 * /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s2 partition map * * Dimensions: * 512 bytes/sector * 63 sectors/track * 255 tracks/cylinder * 16065 sectors/cylinder * 30400 cylinders * 30398 accessible cylinders * * Flags: * 1: unmountable * 10: read-only * * Unallocated space: * First Sector Last * Sector Count Sector * 0 16065 16064 * 488311740 32130 488343869 * * First Sector Last * Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory 0 2 01 16065 488279610 488295674 2 5 01 0 488295675 488295674 8 1 01 0 16065 16064 And here is my partition table: Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wu 1 - 30394 232.83GB (30394/0/0) 488279610 1 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 backup wu 0 - 30394 232.84GB (30395/0/0) 488295675 3 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 8 boot wu 0 - 0 7.84MB (1/0/0) 16065 9 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 Prior to this partition table, when I had rebooted after the computer had hung, I did not have a root partition entry here. I put this here and now can at least see the pool: jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec zpool import pool: rpool id: 3281909672341943803 state: UNAVAIL status: The pool was last accessed by another system. action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY config: rpool UNAVAIL insufficient replicas c4t0d0s0 UNAVAIL corrupted data Is there anything I can do to recover the data? Please let me know what I can do and if you need any other information. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Walter _________________________________________________________________ It?s the same Hotmail?.
