I appreciate the different responses that I have gotten. As some of you may have realized I am not a guru in Linux / Solaris...
I have been trying to figure out what file system my Solaris box was using... I got a comment from Paul that from the fdisk command he could see that most likely the partitions are Solaris UFS... I don't see that information anywhere, so I'm wondering if I missed something, or if you are assuming this Paul? I am sure I will not use ZFS to its fullest potential at all.. right now I'm trying to recover the dead disk, so if it works to mount a single disk/boot disk, that's all I need, I don't need it to be very functional. As I suggested, I will only be using this to change permissions and then return the disk into the appropriate Server once I am able to log back into that server. I will try the zfs import just to give it a go. I have done modprobe fuse and have it loaded... but the fact that allow is not available in the latest version clears up why that wasn't working... Sorry Darren, I was not sure what the CC Forums really did and I just chose ones that I thought might be related to ZFS not realized that Crypto is probably another project... I got another suggestion that the file system is UFS, which would make me think that mount -t ufs /dev/sda1 /mnt/mymount should work, but given that that fails with mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems some thing is not right... but that's probably more a linux community discussion topic... thanks thought. Thanks for your suggestion Mark, I will look in the linux FUSE although I do have a feeling we downloaded the Solaris FUSE software and put it on a linux box... I'll have to look into that some more. Thank you for your responses...
