Hi Eugene
I'm delighted to hear you got your files back!
I've seen a few posts to this forum where people have
done some change to the hardware, and then found
that the ZFS pool have gone. And often you never
hear any more from them, so you assume they could
not recover it.
Thanks for reporting b

With ZFS, that are 4 identical labels on each
physical vdev, in this case a single hard drive.
L0/L1 at the start of the vdev, and
L2/L3 at the end of the vdev.
As I understand it, part of the reason for having

I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE with a 500-gig ZFS drive. Recently I've

motherboard BIOS. It looked like the update went right but after that I was
shocked to see my ZFS destroyed! Rolling the BIOS back did not
