[JZ]

thank you, at least the list is alive.

ok, let me provide some comments beyond IT, since the zpool likes it.

knowledge is power.
truth is knowledge.
one can only understand truth if one can handle truth.
and that is through learning, and reasoning.
when you possess enough knowledge, you will be able to handle the truth.
and any time before you possess enough knowledge, truth may not be handled 
correctly and it can be very counter-productive.

if you would like an universal guide of doing things, one guide has been 
around for a long time, and agreed by many folks.
it's called the Ten Commandments.
http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/the-ten-commandments.html

best,
z

[zfs-discuss] mirror rpool

[mijenix]

Hi

Host: VirtualBox 2.1.0 (WinXP SP3)
Guest: OSol 5.11snv_101b
IDE Primary Master: 10 GB, rpool
IDE Primary Slave: 10 GB, empty

format output:

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
  0. c3d0 DEFAULT cyl 1302 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63
  /pci0,0/pci-...@1,1/i...@0/c...@0,0
  1. c3d1 drive unknown
  /pci0,0/pci-...@1,1/i...@0/c...@1,0

# ls -lah /dev/dsk/c3d1s0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2009-01-13 14:16 /dev/dsk/c3d1s0 - ../../devices 
p...@0,0/pci-...@1,1/i...@0/c...@1,0:a

# zpool attach -f rpool c3d0s0 c3d1s0
cannot open '/dev/dsk/c3d1s0': No such device or address

# zpool attach -f rpool c3d0 c3d1
cannot label 'c3d1': EFI labeled devices are not supported on root pools.

any ideas? I really don't know why format shows drive unknown

Thanks in advice
