Found it quickly. Here is the document: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/ondiskformat0822.pdf See section 1.3.1. ZFS is not cleaning the first 8KB of the raw device so GEOM_PART will taste it and it looks like a broken GPT to it. For future constructions of zpool's one should zero the first few sectors of a device. For your specific I would make a tested backup and then zero the first 1KB of da0. But beware that it's dangerous! Don't blame me if you lose data or hair!home | help
