[zfs-discuss] Exported zpool cannot be imported or deleted.
I have an exported zpool that had several drives incur errors at the same time and as a result became unusable. The pool was exported at the time the drives had problems and now I can't find a way to either delete or import the pool. I've tried relabeling the disks and using dd to write several MB of zero data to partition zero of every disk in the pool but the command zpool import still shows the pool as available and all drives online. When I attempt to import the pool using zpool import -f zpool1, the system panics. Is there any way possible short of reloading the OS and completely reformatting the drives that I can get rid of this zpool?

Write some (e.g. 1M) zeros to the end of disk/partition as well. victor When I attempt to import the pool using zpool import -f zpool1, the system panics.

Hi Stacy, Can you try to forcibly create a new pool using the devices from the corrupted pool, like this: # zpool create -f newpool disk1 disk2 ... Then, destroy this pool, which will release the devices. This CR has been filed to help resolve the pool cruft problem: 6893282 Allow the zpool command to wipe labels from disks (This CR isn't visible from the OpenSolaris bug database yet) Cindy On 10/21/09 14:11, Stacy Maydew wrote: I have an exported zpool that had several drives incur errors at the same time and as a result became unusable.
