Hi Sebastien, Your disk is still under EFI label. You need to convert it to SMI before it is usable by zfs. # format -e (select the disk) >part >label (select the SMI label) quit and run format again omitting the -e option. >part (re-partition the disk and re-label) Alternatively, following the SMI conversion you can copy the VTOC from the boot disk if they are of the same model.
