How timely... literally spent the last hour attempting to recover data from 7 year old ZFS volumes. The conclusion was I think they must have been LVM'd or something before ZFS pool creation because cfdisk and hexdump -C show ZFS pool evidence but zpool-import won't scan them for love nor money. Only other option is an older-than-thou ZFS kernel module version with breaking changes. Sigh. Calling it a fail. No anticipated data of any weight and meaning, IIRC, but one likes to be thorough.
Also had a dead 6TB hard disk this morning: WD60EZAZ. Tried replacing the PCB as I had a few functional ones (ex RAID array), happened to have the right security bit, but no dice. You can hear it try to take-off repeatedly but it never achieves altitude. It's been awhile!
