Explaining your problem in specific terms would be helpful, (.e.g.: mention the commands you use to demonstrate the problem).
"an old system drive seems to have a memory..." is surely a colorful way of describing your issue, but unfortunately does not make it clear what the problem exactly is. Do you have an unusable drive, that used to be part of a Zfs pool, and now cannot be reused in another zfs pool, or reformatted as a non-zfs drive? Do you have a pool, where "zpool list" or "zfs get mounted" lists an un-mountable / un-destroyable file system? The Zfs term "Dataset" is specifically: a file system, snapshot, clone or zvol, but perhaps you are talking about a pool here. Exporting and reimporting a pool sometimes helps resolving pool inconsistencies. Steve ----- Original Message ----- Hi Folks, I'm having problems; an old system drive seems to have a memory of a dataset that is long gone. Obviously this information has survived partition editing, but it is driving me nuts. I can't zfs destroy it by ID because it isn't available. I also can't mount it even using -f and the ID, because none of the volumes exist any more. How do I tell the system to forget about this dataset please? Many thanks, Michelle. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
