Hello the list, I thought that it should be easy to do a clone (not in the term of zfs) of a disk with zpool. This manipulation is strongly inspired by http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=135038 and http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/
But unfortunately this doesn't work, and we do have no clue what could be wrong on c1d0 you have a zfs root create a mirror of this disk: zpool attache rootpool c1d0 c2d0 wait that it construct c2d0 zpool offline #install the grub /usr/sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 c2d0 shut down remove the disk c1d0 and place the disk on c2d0 in c1d0 boot in failsafe clean the zpool zpool import rootpool zpool rootpool c1d0 #(yeah I know this look strange because at that time we have a zpool status saying that the zpool is constitued of two disk c1d0 and c1d0) # try to repair the zpool.cache mkdir /tmp/w_zfs # w stand for write mount -F lofs /tmp/w_zfs /etc/zfs touch /etc/zfs/foo # to check if writable rm /etc/zfs/foo zpool export rootpool zpool import rootpool ## okay we can see now that there is a /etc/zfs/zpool.cache # lets put the new zpool.cache in the rootpool/rootfs mkdir /tmp/rootpool mount -F zfs rootpool/rootfs /tmp/rootpool cp /etc/zfs/zpool.cache /tmp/rootpool/etc/zfs/ # update the bootadm /usr/sbin/bootadm update-archive -v -R /tmp/rootpool _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
