If ZBM refuses to import your look read/write, then either there is a ZFS version incompatibility or the pool is degraded. If the problem is a ZFS version incompatibility, you are stuck. You'll need to build a new image with a newer ZFS, or else use another recovery tool. If the problem is a degraded pool, we refuse to automatically import read/write, but you can drop to the ZBM recovery shell and import the pool manually. After it's reimported, the rest of the ZBM UI should function as expected. |
