jrw@valinor:~$ pfexec zpool attach media c2d1 c3d1 invalid vdev specification use '-f' to override the following errors: /dev/dsk/c3d1s0 is part of active ZFS pool rpool. Please see zpool(1M).
Yet I do not see c3d1 in zpool status. Initially I had 4 disks total, all Seagate SATA drives, two separate plain two-disk mirrors. I added a couple more disks, but havn't yet added them to a pool. I noticed that the device identifiers changed (which I did not expect). I broke the mirror on the "media" pool (i can't remember whey I did that). Since that time I have been getting that message which seems to mean somehow the disk is halfway stuck in the mirror. Should I just issue the -f override? Am I asking for trouble if i do? jrw@valinor:~$ zpool status pool: media state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 3h38m with 0 errors on Sun Feb 17 04:44:29 2013 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM media ONLINE 0 0 0 c2d1 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: scrub in progress since Fri Apr 19 01:47:19 2013 27.1M scanned out of 75.9G at 3.87M/s, 5h34m to go 0 repaired, 0.03% done config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors jrw@valinor:~$ echo | pfexec format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c2d0 <Unknown-Unknown-0001 cyl 60797 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@11/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 1. c2d1 <ST950056- 5YX1J9E-0001-465.76GB> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@11/ide@0/cmdk@1,0 2. c3d0 <ST950056- 5YX1R0Z-0001-465.76GB> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@11/ide@1/cmdk@0,0 3. c3d1 <Unknown-Unknown-0001 cyl 60797 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@11/ide@1/cmdk@1,0 4. c7d0 <ST950056- 5YX1FJF-0001-465.76GB> Media3 /pci@0,0/pci-ide@14,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 5. c7d1 <ST950056- 5YX1Q39-0001-465.76GB> Media4 /pci@0,0/pci-ide@14,1/ide@0/cmdk@1,0 Specify disk (enter its number): Specify disk (enter its number): -- Justin _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
