[OpenIndiana-discuss] HDD Upgrade problem

[michelle]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the gdm, I just couldn't work out what the service name was. 
I've disabled that.

I did try yanking the drive, with kindness, of course, but still got the 
same error message; zfs is obviously smarter than me

At the moment, I'm backing up the drives so I had to revert the set to 
the way it was, but one of the original drives reports...

mich at jaguar:~# parted /dev/rdsk/c2t3d0p0 uni s pri
Model: Generic Ide (ide)
Disk /dev/rdsk/c2t3d0p0: 3907029168s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start        End          Size         File system  Name  Flags
  1      256s         3907012750s  3907012495s               zfs
  9      3907012751s  3907029134s  16384s

To test the 3tb drive in a Linux system, before I trusted it to the 
server, I did create a partition on it; however my understanding is that 
when I give a zfs command at device level ... zpool replace data c2t3d0 
c2t5d0 ... it shouldn't matter what partitions are on the device.

...

... and now I appear to have problems. The screen on the server has 
gone, "corrupt" (it was blank before, but now it has all sorts of white 
noise on the top third) and the backup process has halted.

Any attempt to query the drives, freezes the console session that 
requested it.

...and now the system is refusing to start new sessions.

Hmmm....

That was odd.

For the record, I'm now running ...
