[Solved] ZFS problem

hannson · 2014-01-28 19:57:53

Hi guys,

I've been using ZFS on my arch server for quite a while now without any problems. Today I installed arch on my new ssd an imported the pool and everything is showing up - so far so good. My problem is now that after a reboot no files in the pool are shown at it's mountpoint. zpool status is returning that all drives are online:

   pool: pool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: resilvered 1.08M in 0h0m with 0 errors on Wed Jan  1 21:18:57 2014
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        pool        ONLINE       0     0     0
          raidz2-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            sda1    ONLINE       0     0     0
            sdb1    ONLINE       0     0     0
            sdc1    ONLINE       0     0     0
            sdf1    ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

When I export the pool and import it again, everything is fine again. Does anybody know what that's all about? I was a little scared at first ...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
hannson

What does `zfs get mountpoint` show?

Thanks fukawi2, I get following output:

sudo zfs get mountpoint
NAME           PROPERTY    VALUE        SOURCE
pool           mountpoint  /media/pool  local
pool@16012014  mountpoint  -            -

Seems to me to be alright?!

And it doesn't mount to /media/pool is what you're saying?

hannson · 2014-01-30 07:10:51

No it does mount to /media/pool but isn't showing any files after a reboot unless I do a export and import it again. Somehow weird...

fukawi2 · 2014-01-30 09:47:26

Oh, I understand what you're saying now, but I don't have any suggestions, sorry

Okay, thank you nevertheless.

Is systemd zfs.service running without errors?

Actually you should say why it wasn't working, later it might help someone making the same mistake as you.

I just had to

systemctl enable zfs

I must have forgotten to enable it after installation... O.o

Thank you for owning up to your mistake. I've been contemplating using ZFS on one of my workstations, so I've been tracking ZFS-related topics. Seeing that a significant looking issue had a simple, if silly, solution helps in my decision process.
