Because it's finding at least part of the labels for the pool member there. Please check the partition tables of all the disks, and use zdb -l on the various partitions, to make sure that you haven't got funny offsets or other problems hiding the data from import. In a default solaris label, s2 and s8 start at cylinder 0 but are vastly different sizes. You need to arrange for your labels to match however the data you copied got laid out. > Can I explicitly tell zpool to use slice 2 for each device? Not for import, only at creation time. On import, devices are chosen by inspection of the zfs labels within. zdb -l will print those for you; when you can see all 4 labels for all devices your import has a much better chance of success. -- Dan.
