[SOLVED] cannot import pool after export
Posted: Sat May 21, 2016 12:22 pm
Hi everybody,
basically my question is in the Subject.
Last night I wrote a little script to backup my external HDD to another external with zfs send -> recv.
To do that I needed to format the backup drive. So, in order to not harm my source drive, I did zpool export poolname, followed by a power down of the drive.
I then dd'd zeros to the backup drive (was HFS+ before), created a new pool and dataset and checked if everything went ok.
After that, I powered up the source drive, but nothing appeared. A reboot normally brings it back: To no luck.
zpool import results in "no pools available to import"
zpool status shows only the backup pool I created.
And now I am stuck. I did not change anything on the source drive and it is a single disk pool. So it should be able to see and import it?
When I installed new versions of O3X the export and later an import worked without problems.
What can I do?
zpool status only lists the new pool on my backup drive.
Any help is highly appreciated!
All the best,
