Hi Martin,
My understanding is that ZFS can cope with disks being re-arranged by
searching for the unique identifier on each disk which tells the system
which pool it belongs to.
That said, the demonstrations I've seen only involved re-positioning the
disks rather than a complete change in transport. However, I don't see
why it shouldn't work as long as the OS can build device paths to the
new locations. As long as the disks show up in format, I guess you're
good to go. Your suggested method looks good to me as a non-expert in
ZFS and device path management :-)
zfs-disc...@opensolaris.org may be a better place to ask this particular
question.
Regards,
Brian

At least the mystery of the reboot can be solved :-)
This bug seems to be related to FireWire drives. My HDs also have USB
interfaces. Is it possible to zpool export the pool, hook it to the
USB port and zpool import the pool again?
