Though it may very well be just another dead end, I want to be able to say I really have done everything possible before being forced to throw a years worth of research(the data "trapped" inside the pool) down the drain. Again, thanks! > Without having any experience with zfs data recovery, I suggest you at least try, before abandoning that data, if it is very valuable. Here is a random link I found where a guy demonstrated getting a file out of raidz: http://mbruning.blogspot.de/2009/12/zfs-raidz-data-walk.html Getting a whole file system would likely be a lot of work though. And I asked before, but you didn't answer... have you tried importing it in Solaris? FreeBSD is not perfect, you know.... maybe ZFS has a few advantages on its native platform. (and I would back up with dd before doing anything that can change the data, but you've probably already missed that opportunity on your first "-f" import)
