Hello all, I am using Opensolaris 2009.06 snv_129 I have a quick question. I have created a zpool on a sparse file, for instance:
zpool create stage c10d0s0 mount it to /media/stage mkfile -n 500GB /media/stage/disks/disk.img zpool create zfsStage /media/stage/disks/disk.img I want to be able to take this file and back it up to tape. However, that is fine but if I reboot I see: pool: zfsStage state: UNAVAIL status: One or more devices could not be opened. There are insufficient replicas for the pool to continue functioning. action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-3C scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zfsStage UNAVAIL 0 0 0 insufficient replicas /media/zfsStage/disks/disk1.img UNAVAIL 0 0 0 cannot open I then tried: $zpool online zfsStage /media/zfsStage/disks cannot open 'zfsStage': pool is unavailable $ zpool online zfsStage /media/zfsStage/disks/disk1.img cannot open 'zfsStage': pool is unavailable Am I doing something wrong? When I restore from tape how would I mount this if this sort of thing is coming up? Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks, Greg
