As this is =20 neither a mirror nor a raidz, the whole pool is not accessible. This =20 pool just served as a backup for some data which had to be transferred =20 from a graid3 to a raidz. The graid3 does not exist anymore, and the =20 raidz is not populated yet... As I want to have the data back from the interrim-backup pool (several =20 jails, the FreeBSD CVS, ... so more or less nothing important, but =20 time consuming to get back to the previous state by =20 reinstalling/downloading/...), I would like to know where this label =20 zfs is complaining about is supposed to reside, and how is it suppsoed =20 to look like? I would like to give a repair a try (giving zfs the =20 label it expects and hoping it is able to recover at least most of the =20 data (on this pool I had the property copies=3D2)). So anybody out there who can give me some information I need to do =20 this, or at least knows some places in the zfs source I should have a =20 look at? Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to freebsd-fs@.
