From: Pawel Jakub Dawidek [mailto:p...@freebsd.org] Well, I find it quite reasonable. If your block is referenced 100 times, it is probably quite important. If your block is referenced 1 time, it is probably quite important. Hence redundancy in the pool. There are many corruption

Hi David, You might try importing this pool on a Oracle Solaris Express system, where a pool recovery feature is available might be able to bring this pool back (it rolls back to a previous transaction) or if that fails, you could import this pool by using the read-only option to at least

Hi Karl, I would keep your mirrored root pool separate on the smaller disks as you have setup now. You can move your root pool, its easy enough. You can even replace or attach larger disks to the root pool and detach the smaller disks. You can't currently boot from snapshots, you must boot
