Edward, /etc/zpool.cache contains data pointing to devices involved in a zpool. Changes to ZFS datasets are reflected in the actual zpool so destroying a zfs dataset should not change zpool.cache. zfs destroy is the correct command to destroy a file system. It will be easier if we can know - t

Arlina, The ZFS GUI runs within the Java Web Console, so there is no port conflict. My guess is that the Java Web Console was upgraded to version 3.0.x, which breaks the ZFS GUI. Run "pkginfo SUNWmcon" to verify. The bug ID for this is: 6473968 ZFS GUI does not function under Lockhart 3.0 in s
