Greg,
Sure lofiadm should work, but another underlying issue is that,
currently, building pools on top of other pools can cause the
system to deadlock or panic.
This kind of configuration is just not supported or recommended
at this time.
Thanks,
Cindy

Great...will using lofiadm still cause this issue? either by using
mkfile or by using dd makeing a sparse file? Thanks for the heads up!

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
