glabel is lost

[Oskar Ahlgren]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with a lost glabel.

I used the following command

# glabel label -v WCD3 /dev/ad16

to label the disk. Afterwards I checked that the label was indeed working,
by checking the content in the /dev/label folder.

Then I replaced a failed disk in a pool with

# zpool replace ztuff label/WCD label/WCD3

and the system started scrubing. When I checked it later the label was lost
and the drive ad16 was included in the pool instead. As a result the pool is
still degraded according to the system as the original disk is unavailible.
What should I do? I just dont want to destroy the pool and create a new one.
To avoid that was the point of introducing the labels to begin with...

I'm running 8.0 RC3, but I want to upgrade to 8.1 release. But for some
reason I wasnt able to connect to the server. Can the label troubble have
something to do with the OS version?

I hope someone has an idea about what to do.
