I did go into single-user mode and attempt to do ZFS-related commands, which might explain the "no datasets available" once I was back in multiuser! I would classify that as a bug, and one which is going to cause all sorts of hair-pulling for administrators in the future. I wonder what it's caused by. The "import" technique I found on a forum somewhere, or possibly on a Solaris mailing list. I was really sweating there for a moment... > So, is the disk toast, or can you still read anything from it (part > table, etc.)? The ad6 disk (/backups) fsck'd cleanly without any missing files or anomalies. The ZFS pool that has two striped disks (ad8 and ad10) is fully intact too, with no loss of data that I can see. I'll have to run a scrub after I'm done copying data over to ad6, just to make sure though. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
