After a zpool import of the attached zpool, the zpool and associated zfs filesystems will be visible and accessible. > If that is right so far then I would have access to the data and could > even copy some piece of it to somewhere else on the network? Yes. You might need to modify the of the zpool (which can be done via the zpool import command) if it conflicts with an already existing zpool (you can't have two zpools named rpool, for instance). Then you might need to adjust the mountpoint attribute for the particular zfs filesystems that you wish to pull data off of so you can get to it using commands such as cp or rsync. > Lets say I don't really have room for the full zpool, but I could > still retrieve the needed bits by simple copy commands or rsync? Yes, assuming you've mounted the zfs filesystem(s) that you want to copy data off of. > Where my imagination gets in trouble is trying to visualize how the > new OS will see this disk... That is, will it see a zpool and have > immediate access? Like I could cd into some directory on it? You might want to look at the zpool manpage, but basically zpool import allows the storage pool and all of its associated filesystems to be accessible to the system. To get at the filesystems, i.e. to cd into some directory, you need to adjust the mountpoint attribute of the relevant zfs filesystems, and then just navigate to the now mounted filesystem. > But is there some reason NOT to hookup one of the actual discs to the > running OS (be it live cd or osol running in a VM) > > That is, is there a good chance of harming the disc in so doing? So long as you don't so something silly like zfs or zpool destroy, there isn't any real danger. Personally, I find it easier to actually learn a procedure and become comfortable with it when I don't have a real or imagined fear that I might accidentally make an unrecoverable mistake. > Any ideas how one would hook a raw internal disc up to an opensolaris > OS running on a laptop?

USB enclosures are extremely common, and while not the fastest option, the interface tends to be well supported across lots of different hardware.

If there is someplace on the network where you can copy the data to, there isn't even a need to install OpenSolaris/Indiana, you can just boot up from the LiveCD and go from there. It would be a good idea to first experiment with the procedure before trying it out on your real drives, gather up a few USB thumbdrives and do the same operations. Once you're confident that your procedure is good, then carry on with the real drives. -Sean ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Can this scenario be accomplished?
I have a dead or dieing machine I wondered if something bizarre like this scenario that follows could be done. The machine was running b 133 Fire up a new install in a vm. Take the discs (one by one) from the brokedown machine, and install them in somekind of external enclosure. (I only have a laptop to do this with) Then assign that disc to the vm version of osol in some manner. (discs are sata) Would the newly installed OS recognize the data and zpool/zfs structures enough to retrieve the data or copy it over. Like if you made this external disk a zpool, would it just be erased or would the OS see the data and file structure? I'm thinking maybe an esata connection or some other... I have no real grasp on whats available... and not sure if this might not be a ridiculous and far from possible scheme. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

POSIX.1-1988 did already mention a limit of 32 chars for user and group names in TAR headers. At that time, all traditional UNIX utilities used a limit of 8 chars. Since Solaris removed /var/adm/?tmp and only /var/adm/?tmpx are present now, the number os utilities that still use a lower limit may be close to 0.
