I recently updated my FreeBSD 8.0 RC3 to 8.1 and after the update I can't import my zpool. My computer says that no such pool exists, even though it can be seen with the
command. I assume that it's due to different zfs versions. That should be solved by a
The problem is that I also have a failed disk. What happens to my data if I upgrade a degraded pool? Furthermore a disk label was lost and zfs tried to replace the disk, with a disk which wont be available once I get the disk re-labeled.
After running
a few times the pool was suddenly imported and the files seemed to be there? How? Why is the import successful sometimes and sometimes not?
Any help would be most appreciated.
