Hi Reg, as this matter does not really accept failure: could you share the whole 'dd' command line? Experimenting on raw devices with dd can ruin your day too easily... ;-)

After sending this I found a Sun document describing the on disk zfs format. That gave me the needed clues. The solution is to wipe the slices reported as corrupted using a "dd if=/dev/zero".

I would like to make the message go away. There is nothing to recover and the slices referenced are too small to form a new pool and cannot be enlarged. I've searched in vain for an explanation of how to make this go away or a hint as to where zpool was getting the information. I've tried every zpool subcommand that seems as if it might be relevant usually w/ a "pool does not exist" result. Does anyone have any insight, hints or suggestions? Where does zfs hide this info?
