Yes, it is the same thing. Remember not to upgrade your zpool versions past the last version supported by your most recent live CD.

Grab the data you need to recover first and I would suggest you use rsync or similar since you have no backups. -- Cheers, Steven --- Steven Acres Toronto OpenSolaris User Group Leader http://opensolaris.org/os/project/torosug ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Is there live cd rescue that understands zfs
Is there a sort of standard approach when one needs to boot a machine running opensolaris with some sort of rescue disc that understands zfs? I have a machine running opensolaris b 133 that won't run more than 15 to 20 minutes. I'm not finding what the problem is by looking at /var/adm/messages...or dmesg. In fact I see nothing I recognize as a clue. The key word there being `recognize', its quite likely if I saw a good clue I might not realize it was a good clue. Maybe that machine can be booted with an alternate operating system with tools aboard that understands zfs. If in that situation the machine runs normally... then maybe I can salvage the data by accessing the zfs file systems Anyway, is there a commonly used method to boot for trouble shooting with some kind of rescue disc? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

AIX was close to dead 10 years ago, but IBM invested a lot and AIX recently did even get POSIX approval before Solaris did.
