Hi Artem, everyone, Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately I already did try this approach. Applying -d /dev/gpt only limits the pool to the bare three remaining disks which turns pool completely unusable (no mfid devices). Maybe those labels are removed shortly they are being tried to be imported/accessed? What I don't understand is what exactly makes those gpt labels disappear when the pool is imported and otherwise are just fine?! Something to do with OpenSolaris ? On top of it all gpart show -l keeps showing all the labels right even while the pool is imported. Any other clues would be appreciated. Thank you, Rumen Telbizov On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 9:46 PM, Artem Belevich <fbsdlist@src.cx> wrote: > > but only those 3 devices in /dev/gpt and absolutely nothing in > /dev/gptid/ > > So is there a way to bring all the gpt labeled partitions back into the > pool > > instead of using the mfidXX devices? > > Try re-importing the pool with "zpool import -d /dev/gpt".
