Hello, maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but modifying a dataset's volmode property seems to force me to reboot the host to have any effect.
Test to reproduce (parent dataset hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys has volmode set ot "dev"): 1.) Create new volume with volmode=geom, and write new GPT zfs create -o volmode=geom -V 10G hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test gpart create -s gpt /dev/zvol/hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test gpart show -l /dev/zvol/hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test => 40 20971440 zvol/hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test GPT (10G) 40 20971440 - free - (10G) (works as expected) 2.) Create new volume with volmode=dev, and write new GPT zfs destroy hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test zfs create -V 10G hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test gpart create -s gpt /dev/zvol/hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test gpart: arg0 'zvol/hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test': Invalid argument (fails as expected) 3.) Modify existing volmode=dev dataset and write new GPT zfs set volmode=geom hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test zfs get volmode hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test volmode geom local gpart create -s gpt /dev/zvol/hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test gpart: arg0 'zvol/hostPsys/bhyveVOL/sys/test': Invalid argument (fails unexpected) What can I do to let geom(4) know that there's a new device? And vice versa, changing volmode property from "geom" to "dev" or "none" doesn't have any effecit either, until reboot.
