[OpenIndiana-discuss] Destroying a zombie pool

[Reginald Beardsley]

I hate it when this happens.

After sending this I found a Sun document describing the on disk zfs format.  That gave me the needed clues.

The solution is to wipe the slices reported as corrupted using a "dd if=/dev/zero".

 From something I did several years
 ago "zpool import" reports a zfs-8000-5e error on my system
 for a 2 slice mirror (c0d0s9 & c1d0s9).  I would
 like to make the message go away.  There is nothing to
 recover and the slices referenced are too small to form a
 new pool and cannot be enlarged.
 
 I've searched in vain for an explanation of how to make this
 go away or a hint as to where zpool was getting the
 information.
 
 I've tried every zpool subcommand that seems as if it might
 be relevant usually w/ a "pool does not exist" result.
 
 Does anyone have any insight, hints or suggestions? 
 Where does zfs hide this info?
