Uwe, It was also unclear to me that legacy mounts were causing your troubles. The ZFS Admin Guide describes ZFS mounts and legacy mounts, here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/6n7ht6qs6?a=view Richard, I think we need some more basic troubleshooting info, such as this mount failure.

[i]I create the default storage pool during the install, but then when it reboots, the hostname/hostid has changed so I need to re-associate the pool. I know you're frustrated with this stuff, but once you've figured it out it really is very powerful. :-)[/i] If you read my contributions, I

Now, so my humble guess, I need to know the commands to be run in the new install to de-associate c0d0s7 from the old install and re-associate this drive with the new install. All this probably happened through the '-f' in 'zpool create -f newhome c0d0s7'; which seemingly takes precedence

Get the content of c0d1s1 to c0d0s7 ? c0d1s1 is pool home and active; c0d0s7 is not active. I have not tried this particular use case, but I think this is a case for zfs send and zfs receive. You'd create a new pool containing only c0d0s7 and do something like this, assuming your original

Both work properly. Half of the job done; now I have the new home mounted, but inactive. So I can rm -Rf * or similar there; in order to 'cp -a' the content of the old home to the new home. Still the other half is unresolved: How do I mount the old home which is in no fstab (mnttab), on
