Thanks. As I discovered from that post, VB does not have cache flush enabled by
default. Ignoreflush must be explicitly turned off.
VBoxManage setextradata VMNAME
"VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/LUN#[x]/Config/IgnoreFlush" 0
where VMNAME is the name of your virtual machine.
Although I tried that it it returned with no output (indicating it worked) but
it still won't detect a pool that has been destroyed. Is there any way to
detect if flushes are working from inside the OS? Maybe a command that tells
you if cacheflush is enabled?
Thanks.
You also need the "-D" flag. I could successfully import. This was
running the latest bits:
: trasimene ; mkdir /pf
: trasimene ; mkfile 100m /pf/a /pf/b /pf/c
: trasimene ; zpool create whirl /pf/a /pf/b log /pf/c
: trasimene ; zpool destroy whirl
: trasimene ; zpool import -D -d /pf
pool: whirl
id: 1406684148029707587
state: ONLINE (DESTROYED)
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier.
config:
whirl ONLINE
/pf/a ONLINE
/pf/b ONLINE
logs
/pf/c ONLINE
: trasimene ; zpool import -D -d /pf whirl
: trasimene ; zpool status whirl
pool: whirl
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
whirl ONLINE 0 0 0
/pf/a ONLINE 0 0 0
/pf/b ONLINE 0 0 0
logs
/pf/c ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
: trasimene ;
It would, of course, have been easier if you'd been using real devices
but I understand you want to experiment first...
