Hi Chris, Yes, this is a known problem and a CR is filed.
I haven't tried these in a while, but consider one of the following workarounds below. #1 is most drastic and make sure you've got the right device name. No sanity checking is done by the dd command. Other experts can comment on a better dd command. Thanks, Cindy 1. Wipe the disk label with a dd command. For example: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 count=100 bs=512k (The following two probably won't work if you're getting device in use messages.) 2. Force the creation of a new pool on the disk, like this: # zpool create -f pool ct1d0 Then, remove the new pool: # zpool destroy pool 3. Put the opposite label on the disk. If the disk has an SMI label, use format -e to force an EFI label. Or, vice versa. On 02/12/11 03:33, chris wrote:
I have old pool skeletons with vdevs that no longer exist. Can't import them, can't destroy them, can't even rename them to something obvious like junk1. What do I do to clean up?
