Solaris

Well I got ZFS going almost in version one and didn't have the money to raid it or mirror it. I run off of 7 - 750GB-1TB USB drives and it's run great for over a year. Recently I needed to power off and move some stuff around and when I powered it back on I got this:
========================================================
solaris# zpool import

pool: sun1
id: 1830431416924244313
state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices contains corrupted data.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier.
see: Sun Message ID: ZFS-8000-4J
config:
sun1 ONLINE
c3t0d0 ONLINE
c2t0d0 ONLINE
c1t0d0 ONLINE
c5t0d0 ONLINE
c6t0d0 ONLINE
c4t0d0 UNAVAIL corrupted data
c7t0d0 ONLINE
=======================================================

When I attempt to do a:

# zpool import sun1

it just hangs, I know there is a bad drive on c4 but since the zpool
group is exported I cannot replace the bad drive... Is there aything I
can do to recover at least what is on the other drives? Any tools??

If I have to box everything up until Sun finds a waty out for this I guess
I can wait but I rather get it fixed, lot's of stuff on there...

I doubt anything is recoverable on the other disks alone (without access to the previous c4 disk content) as the data is likely to be scattered on all disks and you didn't use mirroring or raidz.

Ummmm early on I am sure people like me dide it this way if it was for cheap USB storage.... all I am looking for is some solution that Sun came out with even as an interim step....

Anyways, hope to hear from someone that has a +++++ answer

Thanks though,

Only create an unprotected volume if you don't care about the data, or if it's replicated somewhere else. That's a lot of drives to run for a year without protection.

I think you're S.O.L.

`zpool import -f sun1`? Maybe? Without that drive you're still up a creek. Try putting the drive in a different enclosure (I'm assuming they're all external drives).

And do the shaky shaky spin trick
