A nice feature indeed. So I would have been screwed anyway. Currently installing opensol on a spare hard-drive for the evening's recovery attempts. I wonder if the newest opensol dev version is the way to go (has way newer zfs version, maybe more... options). Any hints to offer for the procedure? Just force import the pool and hope the best? --=20 br, Tommi
