ZFS pools gone?
I just did a clean install of 8.0-RELEASE. I am _CERTAIN_ that the drives with ZFS on them were not touched by the installer. Having booted the system (with zfs enabled in rc.conf): # zpool list no pools available # zfs list no datasets available Any assistance would be helpful. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Having booted the system (with zfs enabled in rc.conf): did you try zpool import ? This is true, a 'zpool import' will likely be necessary. I believe 'zpool import' by itself will just list any pools which ZFS finds by searching disks in /dev. You will need to 'zpool import poolname' afterwards to actually import the storage pool. As you've said that it's a clean install, it may warn you that the pool is associated with another system (I saw this when migrating from 9-Current back to 8.0). You can simply pass -f to zpool import to safely force the operation. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
