Hello all, I've been running OpenSolaris on my personal fileserver for about a year and a half, and it's been rock solid except for having to upgrade from 2009.06 to a dev version to fix some network driver issues. About a month ago, the motherboard on this computer died, and I upgraded to a better motherboard and processor. This move broke the OS install, and instead of bothering to try to figure out how to fix it, I decided on a reinstall. All my important data (including all my virtual hard drives) are stored on a separate 3 disk raidz pool.
In attempting to import the pool, I realized that I had upgraded the zpool to a newer version than is supported in the live CD, so I installed the latest dev release to allow the filesystem to mount. After mounting the drives (with a zpool import -f), I noticed that some files might be missing. After installing virtualbox and booting up a WinXP VM, this issue was confirmed. Files before 2/10/2010 seem to be unharmed, but the next file I have logged on 2/19/2010 is missing. Every file created after this date is also missing. The machine had been rebooted several times before the crash with no issues. For the week or so prior to the machine finally dying for good, it would boot, last a few hours, and then crash. These files were fine during that period. One more thing of note: when the machine suffered critical hardware failure, the zpool in issue was at about 95% full. When I upgraded to new hardware (after updating the machine), I added two mirrored disks to the pool to alleviate the space issue until I could back everything up, destroy the pool, and recreate it with six disks instead of three. Is this a known bug with a fix, or am I out of luck with these files?
