I'm trying to create a mirror of my root drive, but I get this error when
trying to attach the 2nd drive: "cannot attach c8t1d0s0 to c8t0d0s0: no such
device in pool". Does anyone know where my mistake could be? I followed this
guide here: http://darkstar-solaris.blogspot.com/2008/09/zfs-root-mirror.html
