History:
I had a nice little home file server running OpenSolaris with ZFS. The server 
used 2 1.5TB drives for data and Compact Flash for the root drive. It was set 
up with one large Zpool dubbed tank with to separate zones for a file and web 
server.

The directory tree looked something like this:
/tank
-/file server
  --/dev
  --/root
-/web server
  --/dev
  --/root
-/shared folder

The Rpool for each zone was kept in the root of their respective directories 
with the global Rpool kept on the CF boot disk. Everything was happy and 
awesome.

A few day's ago, something went wrong with the global Rpool disk (it seems 
everything except grub simply vanished). After a slight heart attack and 
possible mental break down, I went about trying to recover my data. 

I Installed OpenSolaris to VM on my windows machine with the 2 drives 
containing the Zpool hooked up and imported the pool. All seemed well. The 
Directory tree above is intact as well as the contents to the /shared folder. 

However, the directories containing the data form the Zones appear empty. The 
/dev and /root directories are there, but empty. Before I could always access 
the data there form the global zone as long as I had root access.

The web stuff I can live without, But I had a ton of data on the File server 
that I need to recover.

I guess basically the question is:
Is there some way to import a Zones Rpool? kinda like how I just imported the 
global Zpool?

Or do I proceed  with the regularly scheduled mental breakdown for not backing 
up the Global Rpool?

Thank you.
