Upgrading pool from 119

Post by Monotone » Fri Sep 21, 2012 4:18 pm

I've been running ZFS via Apple's last open source package (119) for years with no problem. I had read (via an old 10s complement twitter comment) that zevo could upgrade pools from that version. So I uninstalled the 119 files and installed zevo, but it doesn't see the pools when I attempt to import them (zpool import -f name). Zevo reports no such pool available. Any thoughts?

try running import as root:
Code: Select all
$ sudo zpool import -f <poolname>


if that doesn't work, try using "-d" in case the partition is of the wrong type (i.e. not a ZFS partition):
Code: Select all
$ sudo zpool import -f -d /dev <poolname>

Nope. Same thing: "no such pool available"

Also, I didn't mention this, but I'm running the 119 bits with Snow Leopard and I upgraded (on an external drive) to Mountain Lion so I can test getting Zevo working and still be able to get back to my data. When I installed Zevo on Snow Leopard, it said I needed a 64-bit kernel -- which is odd because that's what I have to the best of my knowledge.

If I do a 'diskutil list' or 'sudo zpool showdisks', I see all the drives.

FYI: I always run zpool via sudo, I just omitted it in my post. :oops:

So can you confirm the partition type (using diskutil list) of you zfs disk(s)? On the Mac, ZFS disks typically reside in a GPT partition. Once we know how the disk is labeled we can suggest an appropriate work-around.

Did 'diskutil list'. All the disks (except my boot HFS disk) look like this:

Code: Select all
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:                                                   *2.0 TB     disk1


No Type Name is shown if that's what you're interested in.
