Pools gone after OS X upgrade

Postby AnWa » Thu Jun 16, 2016 10:41 am

Greetings, everybody!

I have a mac with two external zfs pools (eight HDDs each, RaidZ2). The computer in question has not been online for months and on start-up convinced me to update OS X on it. Big mistake.

O3X disappeared with the OS X update (to Capitan), so the pools would not load. I therefor reinstalled the latest version of O3X, but it cannot fins the pools. Running "sudo zpool status" only returns No pools found.

I am not very well versed in the internals of O3X (or OS X for that matter), and would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Have you tried "sudo zpool import -a" ?

Don't forget the "-d /dev" that is needed on new O3X.

Well, if invariantdisks is running, you should use -d /var/run/disk/by-id/

My most sincere thanks - the gear is up and running again!

(It had been so long since I last had to fix something that I had forgotten how to do it.)
