Recover a ZFS pool hidden on a detached device

instructions.txt

Originally written by Jeff Bonwick (http://www.mail-archive.com/zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org/msg15748.html), and updated by James Lee to work with modern ZFS libs (https://www.mail-archive.com/zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org/msg47316.html), I was able to compile this life-saving utility in Ubuntu 14.04 and have verified that it works. (I'm using ZFSonLinux.)

Download the ZFSonLinux tarball and replace the cmd/zhack/zhack.c file with "labelfix.c". Note that zhack is just a simple utility that we're replacing so that we don't have to setup the build environment. (It's hard, so we'll reuse the good work of the ZFSonLinux people.)

Run "./configure; make" and if all goes well then the zfs tools will be built, except for zhack, which we replaced. Run that with the device path to recover your data.

If you want to be super-careful and not tamper with your disk, you can clone it and run the utility on your clone. Or, create an overlay as described in this page: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Recovering_a_failed_software_RAID#Making_the_harddisks_read-only_using_an_overlay_file

Hi, I just tried to build this and received the following error:
/debian/zfs/cmd/zhack/zhack.c:28: undefined reference to zio_checksum_SHA256'`

am i doing something wrong or does it need to be updated?

im looking to use this..but im completly lost... really need help, my mail brunonizio@gmail.com
