I run zfs on root, mirrored on two drives (8.2-RELEASE) and have had a power failure. I have tried dropping to shell from 9.0-RC3 memstick image to try the
Sadly I have learned a great lesson about backups from this (thought my 2-disk mirror would aid stability) but am beginning to think that a single disk with frequent backups would have been more resilient.
Many thanks for any info, and I'll try to get some info from the failing system but it's proving hard since it cannot boot.
