I read somewhere that you can Set sata to ahci in bios. Boot a live dvd In there i can just do a zpool import -f rpool. Could this be true? Really?

Albertsson" <[email protected]> Datum: Till: Discussion list for OpenIndiana <[email protected]> Rubrik: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] What to do with 4k sector SATA drives... All fixes are for SCSI drives only!!?? i think I've just got a problem because of machine age! if I can muster enough courage .... ok, well, being retired, what can harm me now? I have my sata controllers in that machine in ide mode... gaah.. There was a problem in Solaris 11/Opensolaris around builds << 97 or so that meant I had to do that, or else my machines would reboot at random. I think I know the problem is gone since b134 at least, and I almost remember, I think, doing some kind of reconfiguring and recapturing the rpool from a live CD on another box on account of that problem. It's years ago so my memory of the event has been almost erased I hope that will work without reinstalliing. All the devices and dev trees naming looks very different. Will I have to export/backup the entire thing to another disk, and reconfigure and import/recv/something back, or can I just change the SATA mode and recreate the devices and dev trees from a live cd w/o loosing the rpool? I realised this when I happened to check things on another machine, by mistake, a machine with proper settings and seeing very different behaviour in the inquire command. My face is crimson! Reinstall needed??? S----t!!! On 2013-03-17 16:38, Jan Owoc wrote: > On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 9:06 AM, Hans J. Albertsson > <[email protected]> wrote: >>> On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 8:30 AM, Hans J.
