Hmmm - this is an annoying one.
I'm currently running an OpenSolaris install (2008.11 upgraded to 2009.06) :
SunOS shemhazai 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
with a zpool made up of one radiz vdev and a small ramdisk based zil. I
usually swap out the zil for a file-based copy when I need to reboot (zpool
replace /dev/ramdisk/slog /root/slog.tmp) but this time I had a brain fart and
forgot to.
The server came back up and I could sort of work on the zpool but it was
complaining so I did my replace command and it happily resilvered. Then I
restarted one more time in order to test bringing everything up cleanly and
this time it can't find the file based zil.
I try importing and it comes back with:
zpool import
pool: siovale
id: 13808783103733022257
state: UNAVAIL
status: One or more devices are missing from the system.
action: The pool cannot be imported. Attach the missing
devices and try again.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-6X
config:
siovale UNAVAIL missing device
raidz1 ONLINE
c8d0 ONLINE
c9d0 ONLINE
c10d0 ONLINE
c11d0 ONLINE
Additional devices are known to be part of this pool, though their
exact configuration cannot be determined.
Now the file still exists so I don't know why it can't seem to find it and I
thought the missing zil issue was corrected in this version (or did I miss
something?).
I've looked around for solutions to bring it back online and ran across this
method: <http://www.mail-archive.com/zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org/msg16545.html>
but before I jump in on this one I was hoping there was a newer, cleaner
approach that I missed somehow.
Ideas appreciated...
Erik
