But i've search about the EFI labels and found this old post of 2005: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=18116#18116 So i followed billm advice and i did these step to make everything works after a reboot: - Plug the power on the HD, without the sata cable and boot directly into Solaris 10 - Plug the SATA back on & run format -e - selected the first disk in problem in the list - typed: fdisk - deleted the EFI partition, create a standard Solaris partition at 100% (have to create a Solaris2 then used the menu option to change it back to Solaris) - Option 5 to exit and save the fdisk changes - typed: "label" & select option #0: SMI - exit format and back to do the same step on the 2 others disks Then, i think that the EFI was done with creating the pool in raindz using the hole disk instead of using one partition only so instead of doing: # zpool create mypool raidz c1d0 c2d0 c3d0 i did: # zpool create mypool raid c1d0p0 c2d0p0 c3d0p0 Then, a zfs create mypool/test & a reboot Everything works fine now !!! thanks !
