Mount old zfs filesystem
Hey all,

I have a machine with 16 drive slots. Two of the drives have a ZFS mirror of the operating system, the other 14 contain the storage raidz.

So, after installing Opensolaris on the OS drives, how can I remount the storage raid?

TIA

This should tell you what zpools are available to import...
Code:
zpool import -d /dev/dsk

Just played with zpool import, but I get the error:

root@obelix:/dev/scsi/changer# zpool import -a
cannot import 'storage': pool is formatted using a newer ZFS version

Which surprises me a bit, as the pool was created with Solaris 10, while I am now running OpenSolaris 2009.06 Smilie

You have to import the filesystems.

Code:
zpool import poolname

after you have them pools imported you just need to issue this command.

Code:
zfs mount -a

that should get all of your old zfs filesystems there.

I'm not convinced sharing zfs pools between Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris is a good idea. They are different OS branches and their pool and zfs support isn't necessarily aligned.

Well, I have 2 TB of data in this pool and want to use it.

Then use the same OS that created it.
