Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS with Memory Sticks
Hi Paul, # fdisk -E /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0s2 then # zpool create -f Radical-Vol /dev/dsk/c7t0d0 should work. The warnings you see are just there to double-check you don't overwrite any previously used pool which you may regret. -f overrules that. Hope this helps, Constantin -- Constantin GonzalezSun Microsystems GmbH, Germany Platform Technology Group, Global Systems Engineering http://www.sun.de/ Tel.: +49 89/4 60 08-25 91 http://blogs.sun.com/constantin/ Sitz d.

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS with Memory Sticks
I did some work over the weekend. Still is having some trouble. # fdisk -E /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0s2 # zpool create Radical-Vol /dev/dsk/c7t0d0 invalid vdev specification use '-f' to override the following errors: /dev/dsk/c7t0d0s0 is part of exported or potentially active ZFS pool Radical-Vol. Please see zpool(1M). /dev/dsk/c7t0d0s2 is part of exported or potentially active ZFS pool Radical-Vol. Please see zpool(1M). # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk/c7t0d0s2 bs=1 write: No such device or address 8200604161+0 records in 8200604161+0 records out # fdisk -E /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0s2 # zpool create Radical-Vol /dev/dsk/c7t0d0 cannot label 'c7t0d0': failed to write EFI label use fdisk(1M) to partition the disk, and provide a specific slice # Basically after doing an fdisk -E, I couldn't create pool Radical-Vol. So I decided to zero the whole device and start from scratch. Now I have a different error, zpool couldn't write the EFI label. It wants an fdisk partition, but as far as I know, once I do this it will be specific for Sparc and X86. Any other suggestions?

Hi, # /usr/sbin/zpool import pool: Radical-Vol id: 3051993120652382125 state: FAULTED status: One or more devices contains corrupted data. action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-5E config: Radical-Vol UNAVAIL insufficient replicas c7t0d0s0 UNAVAIL corrupted data ok, ZFS did recognize the disk, but the pool is corrupted. Did you remove it without exporting the pool first?

Have you check zfs get all Rad_Disk_1? Does it show mount points and whether it should be mounted? But this device works currently on my Solaris PC's, the W2100z and a laptop of mine. Strange.
