The rpool disk cannot use EFI labels on 2009.06 and I am not sure if this is still true for 2010.03.    You basically format the disk using a standard Solaris label and (normally) assign the whole disk to the rpool on slice 0. This is why you have to use c9t0d0s0 (include the slice) when setti

When you attached your mirror did you you install a bootblock on the mirror disk ? You have to manually create a bootblock or an additional grub menu item (x86) for the new mirrored disk which is a known issue. Sparc: installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0

Use the "format" command which will put you into a mini environment with options. Look at "man format" since some tests will wipe your drive and others do not. It does warn you if you pick an option that will overwrite and allows you to escape. Leank Soon wrote, On 04/22/10 05:06: Hi, I
