Hello and apology to Dan to whom I've already mentioned this matter on IRC.
Summary: zdb doesn't see a pool specified by name. My (home) server has three pools so: ================================================ # zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0h2m with 0 errors on Sun Feb 19 14:01:41 2017 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors pool: vault state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM vault ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz2-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t1d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t2d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t3d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t5d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors pool: woz state: ONLINE scan: resilvered 359G in 8h21m with 0 errors on Fri Mar 17 03:16:51 2017 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM woz ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t4d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors ================================================ However, zdb won't see the pool 'woz': ================================================ # zdb vault | head -4 Cached configuration: version: 5000 name: 'vault' # zdb woz zdb: can't open 'woz': No such file or directory # zdb -l /dev/rdsk/c2t4d0s0 | head -6 -------------------------------------------- LABEL 0 -------------------------------------------- version: 5000 name: 'woz' state: 0 ================================================ So zdb finds pool 'vault' alright but not 'woz'. It will however see 'woz' if it's referred-to by disk. The difference which I think might be crucial is that 'vault' was created via zpool create, whereas 'woz' was created via zpool split. In the full output of zdb -l /dev/rdsk/c2t4d0s0 (omitted here for brevity), there are four labels numbered 0 to 3. The output is much shorter as well; it doesn't list the individual file objects as zdb vault does. Is this worth a mention on https://www.illumos.org/issues ? ______________ Michael Mounteney _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
