I'm at a loss, I've managed to get myself into a fix. I'm not sure where the problem is, but essentially i have a zpool i cannot import. This particular pool used to have a two drives (not shown below), one for cache and another for log. I'm unsure why they are no longer detected on zpool

[zfs-discuss] LTFS and LTO-5 Tape Drives

Has anyone looked into the new LTFS on LTO-5 for tape backups? Any idea how this would work with ZFS? I'm presuming ZFS send / receive are not going to work. But it seems rather appealing to have the metadata properly with the data, and being able to browse files directly instead of having to

Darren, It looks like you've lost your log device. The newly integrated missing log support will help once it's available. In the meantime, you should run 'zdb -l' on your log device to make sure the label is still intact. Thanks, George Darren Taylor wrote: I'm at a loss, I've managed to

Short answer: No. Long answer: Not without rewriting the previously written data. Data is being striped over all of the top level VDEVs, or at least it should be. But there is no way, at least not built into ZFS, to re-allocate the storage to perform I/O balancing. You would basically have to

I notice you use the word volume which really isn't accurate or appropriate here. If all of these VDEVs are part of the same pool, which as I recall you said they are, then writes are striped across all of them (with bias for the more empty aka less full VDEVs). You probably want to zfs send the
