zfs discuss - Jul 2009 - Solaris live CD that supports ZFS root mount for fs fixes

Hi,

I borked a libc.so library file on my solaris 10 server (zfs root) - was 
wondering if there
is a good live CD that will be able to mount my ZFS root fs so that I 
can make this
quick repair on the system boot drive and get back running again.  Are 
all ZFS
roots created equal? Its an x86 solaris 10 box. If I boot a belenix live 
CD will it be
able to mount this ZFS root?

Thanks,

Matt

It should, as long as the pool version is the same or older than the 
version supported by the live CD.  If you want to be cautious, mount 
your pool read-only first.

We used the OpenSolaris preview 2010.02 DVD on genunix.org, to fix our 
broken zboot after attempting to clone.  It had the zpool and zfs tools 
enough to import, re-mount etc.
