zfs discuss - Nov 2009 - Rebooting while Scrubing in snv_126

Greetings folks,

Something funny happened to my amd64 box last night. I shut it down while a
a scrub was running on rpool. This was not a fast reboot or anything like that.

Since then, the system does not come up any more. I still can boot in single
user mode but "/sbin/zfs mount -va" hangs while displaying:

Reading ZFS config: *

I went a bit further in single user mode: "truss -f ksh
/lib/svc/method/fs-local"''s
last sign of life is a memcntl, shortly after a ZFS_IOC_POOL_CONFIGS
successful ioctl.

Any word of wisdom here? I really hope this recoverable since this was my
primary
system (no serial console though, so I can''t really capture the essence
of
the drama  :)  )

I think rpool was version 19 but I''m not 100% positive here.

Regards.

        Francois

Did you ever get a solution for this?
I have the same problem on a box with 20Terabytes of data. :-(

Regards
john

Here''s how I recovered my situation:
1. Boot from openSolaris CD
2. Import the pool 
   ''zpool import'' to list it
   ''zpool import -f <pool>''
This took quite some time. I guess it had to check/repair it, so I went to
lunch.
3. Export the pool again
   ''zpool export <pool>''
4. Reboot
5. Import the pool again.
6. Stop sweating.
