Hi,

    I have Solaris 11 Express with a root pool installed on a 500 GB disk.  I'd 
like to migrate it to a 2 TB disk.  I've followed the instructions on the ZFS 
troubleshooting guide 
(http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Troubleshooting_Guide#Replacing.2FRelabeling_the_Root_Pool_Disk)
 and the Oracle ZFS Administration Guide 
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/ghzvx/index.html) pretty 
carefully.  However, things still don't work: after re-silvering, I switch my 
BIOS to boot from the 2 TB disk and at boot, *some* kind of error message 
appears for < 1 second before the machine reboots itself.  Is there any way I 
can view this message?  I.e., is this message written to the log anywhere?

    As far as I can tell, I've set up all the partitions and slices correctly 
(VTOC below).  The only error message I get is when I do:

# zpool attach rpool c9t0d0s0 c13d1s0

(c9t0d0s0 is the 500 GB original disk, c13d1s0 is the 2 TB new disk)

I get:

invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
_dev_dsk_c13d1s0 overlaps with _dev_dsk_c13d1s2

But that's a well known bug and I use "-f" to force it since the backup slice 
shouldn't matter.  If anyone has any ideas, I really appreciate it.
