Thanks for posting this link! Building pkg with gdb was an interesting exercise, but it worked, with the additional step of making the packages and pkgadding them. Curious as to why pkg isn't available as a pkgadd package. Is there any reason why someone shouldn't make them available for download? It would make it much less painful for those of us who are OBP version deprived - but maybe that's the point :-) During the install cycle, ran into this annoyance (doubtless this is documented somewhere): # zpool create rpool c2t2d0 creates a good rpool that can be exported and imported. But it seems to create an EFI label, and, as documented, attempting to boot results in a bad magic number error. Why does zpool silently create an apparently useless disk configuration for a root pool? Anyway, it was a good opportunity to test zfs send/recv of a root pool (it worked like a charm). Using format -e to relable the disk so that slice 0 and slice 2 both have the whole disk resulted in this odd problem: # zpool create -f rpool c2t2d0s0 # zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT rpool 18.6G 73.5K 18.6G 0% ONLINE - space 1.36T 294G 1.07T 21% ONLINE - # zpool export rpool # zpool import rpool cannot import 'rpool': no such pool available # zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT space 1.36T 294G 1.07T 21% ONLINE - # zdb -l /dev/dsk/c2t2d0s0 lists 3 perfectly good looking labels. Format says: ... selecting c2t2d0 [disk formatted] /dev/dsk/c2t2d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool rpool. Please see zpool(1M). /dev/dsk/c2t2d0s2 is part of active ZFS pool rpool. Please see zpool(1M). However this disk boots ZFS OpenSolaris just fine and this inability to import an exported pool isn't a problem. Just wondering if any ZFS guru had a comment about it. (This is with snv103 on SPARC). FWIW this is an old ide drive connected to a sas controller via a sata/pata adapter...
