If it actually finds anything then it will tell you what it found, and you can add the pool name to the command to do the import (you may have to give a new pool name as well to import it under a different name if the name conflicts with an existing pool). If this is an rpool, then it will have an SMI label and you need to get inside the partitions. I'm not sure what to do in that case if it doesn't recognise it. > ------------------------------ > > > *Da:* Peter Tribble <[email protected]> > *A:* discuss <[email protected]> > *Data:* 28 settembre 2015 16.37.38 CEST > *Oggetto:* Re: [discuss] mount vdi zpool > > > > > On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 3:05 PM, Gabriele Bulfon <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> is there any way to mount zpools inside a virtual box vdi disk image? >> Any lofiadm trick to read the vdi and import from the lofi device? >> >> Gabriele >> *illumos-discuss* | Archives >> <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now> >> <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175722-010faa19> | >> Modify <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&;> Your Subscription >> <http://www.listbox.com> >> > > Not directly.
