Hi
Host: VirtualBox 2.1.0 (WinXP SP3)
Guest: OSol 5.11snv_101b
IDE Primary Master: 10 GB, rpool
IDE Primary Slave: 10 GB, empty
format output:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:

# zpool attach -f rpool c3d0s0 c3d1s0
cannot open ''/dev/dsk/c3d1s0'': No such device or address
# zpool attach -f rpool c3d0 c3d1
cannot label ''c3d1'': EFI labeled devices are not supported on
root pools.
any ideas? I really don''t know why format shows "drive
unknown"
Thanks in advice

Wanna give.... # zpool attach -f rpool c3d0s0 c3d1p0 ...a try ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
yes, that''s the way zpool likes it I think I''ve to understand how (Open)Solaris create disks or how the partition thing works under OSol. Do you know any guide or howto? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
thank you, at least the list is alive. ok, let me provide some comments beyond IT, since the zpool likes it. knowledge is power. truth is knowledge. one can only understand truth if one can handle truth. and that is through learning, and reasoning. when you possess enough knowledge, you will be able to handle the truth. and any time before you possess enough knowledge, truth may not be handled correctly and it can be very counter-productive. if you would like an universal guide of doing things, one guide has been around for a long time, and agreed by many folks. it''s called the Ten Commandments. http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/the-ten-commandments.html best, z ----- Original Message ----- From: "mijenix" <mijenix at gmx.ch> To: <zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 3:58 AM Subject: Re: [zfs-discuss] mirror rpool> yes, that''s the way zpool likes it > > I think I''ve to understand how (Open)Solaris create disks or how > the partition thing works under OSol.
