Since the existing device paths disappear entirely, ZFS should be able to search for and find the drives and bring the pool online, even if the device paths have changed.
However, there is risk if ZFS picks the /dev/sdX devices to use going forward. Those paths aren't guaranteed to be stable across reboots, especially when devices are added to or removed from the system. And since ZFS doesn't export and re-import the pool across reboots, if existing drives' device paths shuffle around without an export/import, that can confuse ZFS and cause pool corruption. If ZFS picks the /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-* devices to use, as happened in this example case, those are stable and this isn't a problem, but I've seen ZFS pick /dev/sdX in other such situations. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2137191 Title: upstream 00-scsi-sg3_config.rules missing from distro package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sg3-utils/+bug/2137191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
