I won't bore (entertain?) you with the how and why this happened so let me just stick to the facts.
I've got a ZFS pool of five total drives. One 64GB SSD acting as ZIL to 4 storage drives (3TB each) in a single pool. I hadn't yet gotten around to adding the second SSD to be the ZIL's mirror but let's just say the current ZIL has been formatted and had Windows 2K8 installed on it. The remaining drives are untouched.
I can't mount the pool because it says a drive is missing (the ZIL, obviously). In the wiki, it sounds like I'm screwed with a missing ZIL but there's another section that says missing the ZIL will result in degraded performance and loss of the last writes to the pool (which I would be fine with).
So how fubar'd am I? Is there any software for ZFS like GetDataBack that can bring the ZIL back from it's formatted grave and be reinstalled back to my FreeNAS server?
