GEOM requires both copies to be present and identical, IIRC. Since the pool fills the device, there's no space at the end, so adding the second copy is not an option. > > You could try destroying the first GPT copy by zeroing the first 34 blocks. I'm not sure what Solaris will make of the pool after this, though: > # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=34 > > However, I'd expect this to have no effect on zpools ability to import the pool. > I attempted this and, as you expected, I was still unable to import the pool. It still reports 'no such pool', although the GEOM messages *seem* to be gone. Taking this drive back to my Solaris system now results in the following output in dmesg when it is attached (though it still seems to function): primary label corrupt; using backup Oddly the disk doesn't appear in the Solaris 'format' utility so I can't restore the label from backup (or at least, I don't know how to).
