Dear Candy,
This is the log of zpool status, along with partition of c3d0 and c4d0
1. It appears to me that once I destroy the partition of c4d0 and recreate it
again, I get different slices in c4d0. I forgot which fdisk partition I
chose, it is either Solaris, Solaris2, or Unix System, and it
It's not intuitive because when you know that -o sets options, an
error message saying that it's not a valid property makes you think
that it's not possible to do what you're trying.
Documented and intuitive are very different things. I do appreciate
that the details are there in the manuals,
In August last year I posted this bug, a brief summary of which would be that
ZFS still accepts writes to a faulted pool, causing data loss, and potentially
silent data loss:

I am trying to take ZFS snapshots (ie. zfs send) and burn them to DVD's for

Jean-Paul,
Our goofy disk formatting is tripping you...
Put the disk space of c8t0d0 in c8t0d0s0 and try the
zpool add syntax again. If you need help with the
format syntax, let me know.
This command syntax should have complained:
pfexec zpool add rpool cache /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0
See the zpool
Well, after a quick test today I can confirm that this isn't possible.
You can do a send/receive to an existing filesystem, but you need to use the -F
option, and it overwrites the receiving filesystem, giving it identical
properties to the source.
Looks like this'll have to be a proper backup
Handojo,
Use the format utility to put the disk space of c4d0 into c4d0s0
and try the zpool attach syntax again, like this:
# zpool attach rpool c3d0s0 c4d0s0
Let the newly added disk resilver by monitoring with zpool status.
Then, install the bootblocks on the newly added disk, like this:

Yeah, I knew that zpool creates a root filesystem (since it's listed in zfs

I believe you want to use zfs recv -F to force a rollback on the
receiving side.
I'm wondering if your ls is updating the atime somewhere, which would
indeed be a change...

If you have an older Solaris release using ZFS and Samba, and you upgrade to a
version with CIFS support, how do you ensure the file systems/pools have
casesensitivity mixed?

You can check whether it's set with:

If you're using CIFS, you need that to return mixed or insensitive. If it

Unfortunately there's no way to change this setting on an existing filesystem,

I was wondering what's the status on the ability to remove disks from a ZFS
