pool is completely unreadable.
That's your opinion. However I'm the one that did this on *my* data and
I knew what I was doing because I develop in the ZFS code base. I
calculated the risk I was taken on *my* pool based on the hacks I did
for this. I considered what I was doing was "highly dangerous" because
I could if I made a mistake make the situation even worse for myself
than it already was, one that would be even harder to recover from. I
had some files I didn't have a backup of yet in that pool that I really
didn't want to lose because if I did I'd be in trouble with my spouse.
So for me this was highly dangerous on my data. I would expect others
to make a similar risk judgement based based on the value of the data in
the pool.
If the only copy of the data is in the pool what I did (and remember you
have no idea how I did this because I'm not going to explain it because
I know I can't accurately reproduce it in email) it is risky.
