Try 'zpool import' when booted from the LiveCD to check for existing pools. Please post your output.
Also, you can add a flag to the GRUB boot option to make your boot verbose - this might help diagnose the hang: Boot to GRUB 'e' for edit on the default boot option. Assuming you are booting OpenSolaris, replace 'console=graphics' at the end of the line with '-v' 'enter/return' to apply 'b' to boot If you get any additional info during boot/hang, please post. cheers, Blake On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 4:08 PM, Jeff Waddell <Jeff at jeffawaddell.com> wrote: > My zfs server is hanging during restart at "Hostname = opensolaris."
