Michael,
ZFS handles EFI labels just fine, but you need an SMI label on the disk
that you are booting from.
Are you saying that localtank is your root pool?
I believe the OSOL install creates a root pool called rpool. I don't
remember if its configurable.
Changing labels or partitions from beneath a live pool isn't supported
and can cause data loss.
Can you describe the changes other than the pkg-image-update that lead
up to this problem?

All,
this morning, I did "pkg image-update" from 118 to 123 (internal
repo), and upon reboot all I got was the grub prompt - no menu, nothing.
I found a 2009.06 CD, and when I boot that and run "zpool import", I
get told
localtank UNAVAIL insufficient replicas
c8t1d0 ONLINE
some research showed that disklabel changes sometimes cause this, so
I ran format:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c8t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 48639 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/p...@0,0/pci108e,5...@7/d...@0,0
1. c8t1d0 <ATA-HITACHI HDS7240S-A33A-372.61GB>
/p...@0,0/pci108e,5...@7/d...@1,0
Specify disk (enter its number): 1
selecting c8t1d0
[disk formatted]
Note: capacity in disk label is smaller than the real disk capacity.
Select <partition> <expand> to adjust the label capacity.
[..]
partition> print
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 781401310 + 16384 (reserved sectors)
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 256 372.60GB 781401310
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 781401311 8.00MB 781417694
Format already tells me that the label doesn't align with the disk
size ... should I just do "expand", or should I change the first
sectore of partition 0 to be 0?
I'd appreciate advice on the above, and on how to avoid this in the
future.
I just found out that this disk has been EFI-labelled, which I
understand isn't what zfs like/expects.
what to do now?
TIA
Michael
