One of our servers has a hard drive that contains the OS and then a set of 24 drives that were organized into two ZFS pools. I replaced the system drive this morning assuming, perhaps misguidedly, that I could easily recreate the two ZFS pools from the 24 drives. (You could do this pretty easily with RAID6 in Linux as I recall) When I looked closer at zpool however, its not obvious how to do this. I tried using zpool create but it complained that the drives were already part of another pool. Is there a way to recreate a zpool directly from the disks? Thanks! -- Andrew Young
