ok - i tried to follow the troubleshooting instructions - but i ran into the same problem at step 5 - the attach:
init...@dogpatch:~# zpool attach rpool c7t0d0s0 c7t1d0s0 invalid vdev specification use '-f' to override the following errors: /dev/dsk/c7t1d0s0 overlaps with /dev/dsk/c7t1d0s2 and, of course, they overlap, since s2 is the entire disk: init...@dogpatch:~# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c7t1d0s0 * /dev/rdsk/c7t1d0s0 partition map * * Dimensions: * 512 bytes/sector * 63 sectors/track * 255 tracks/cylinder * 16065 sectors/cylinder * 36471 cylinders * 36469 accessible cylinders * * Flags: * 1: unmountable * 10: read-only * * Unallocated space: * First Sector Last * Sector Count Sector * 0 16065 16064 * * First Sector Last * Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory 0 0 00 16065 585858420 585874484 2 5 01 0 585874485 585874484 8 1 01 0 16065 16064 the only difference, that i can see right off, with the format method and in the other instructions that used fmthard is that the tags are 0,5,1 instead of 2,5,1 - but the slices(partitions) still overlap. should i use "-f" to force it to run, as the error message suggests - the toubleshooting instructions show overlapping partitions as well, but they don't show a "-f" at step 5. i was hoping the tag difference was the "magic". am i overlooking something and making a mistake? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
