Hi Artem, everyone, Here's the latest update on my case. I did upgrade the system to the latest stable: 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Sun Oct 31 11:44:06 PDT 2010 After that I did zpool upgrade and zfs upgrade -r all the filesystems. Currently I am running zpool 15 and zfs 4. Everything went fine with the upgrade but unfortunately my problem still persists. There's no difference in this aspect. I still have mfid devices. I also tried chmod-ing as you suggested /dev/mfid devices but zfs/zpool didn't seem to care and imported the array regardless.
So at this point since no one else seems to have any ideas and we seem to be stuck I am almost ready to declare defeat on this one. Although the pool is usable I couldn't bring it back to exactly the same state as it was before the disk replacements took place. Disappointing indeed, although not a complete show stopper. I still think that if there's a way to edit the cache file and change the devices that might do the trick. Thanks for all the help, Rumen Telbizov On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 5:01 PM, Artem Belevich <fbsdl...@src.cx> wrote: > On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 4:42 PM, Rumen Telbizov <telbi...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Sun Sep 5 00:22:45 PDT 2010 > > That's when I csuped and rebuilt world/kernel. > > There were a lot of ZFS-related MFCs since then.
