I think that Device Manager in Windows 7 doesn't do any harm. Instead I used this utility to try and format an external USB hard drive.
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/fat32format.htm I used the GUI format http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.htm I clicked and started this GUI format without inserting the USB hard drive and it messed up the ZFS mirror. Entirely my fault, but just posting it out there so there is some record of it. I don't know what the utility may have modified. --- On Sat, 7/17/10, Giovanni Tirloni <gtirl...@sysdroid.com> wrote: > From: Giovanni Tirloni <gtirl...@sysdroid.com> > Subject: Re: [zfs-discuss] Lost zpool after reboot > To: "Amit Kulkarni" <amitk...@yahoo.com> > Cc: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > Date: Saturday, July 17, 2010, 6:23 PM > On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 3:07 PM, Amit > Kulkarni <amitk...@yahoo.com> > wrote: > > I don't know if the devices are renumbered.
