I think I have found a strange "issue" when working between Linux and MacOSX machines that made impossible to exchange drives between these systems. You can reproduce it using this:
1. In a MacOSX environment just create a pool in a USB disk. I.E:
zpool create -f -o ashift=12 -O compression=lz4 -O casesensitivity=insensitive -O atime=off -O normalization=formD USB diskXX
2. Everything works fine, you can plug-in/plug-out the USB drive in you mac systems and everything works fine:
zpool import USB
Do_whatever_you_want
zpool export USB
#zdb -l /dev/mapper/truecrypt2
--------------------------------------------
LABEL 0
--------------------------------------------
version: 5000
name: 'USB'
.......
vdev_tree:
type: 'disk'
path: '/dev/disk3' <=======Original disk path
whole_disk: 0
3. Under Linux you can do the same and works fine too. But after "zpool export USB" the label has changed:
zdb -l /dev/mapper/truecrypt2
--------------------------------------------
LABEL 0
--------------------------------------------
version: 5000
name: 'USB'
......
vdev_tree:
type: 'disk'
path: '/dev/mapper/WHATEVER' <== Linux PATH after beign used!!!!
4. Cannot be re-used in MacosX!!
sh-3.2# zpool list
no pools available
sh-3.2# zpool import
no pools available to import
zdb -l /dev/disk3
--------------------------------------------
LABEL 0
--------------------------------------------
version: 5000
name: 'USB'
state: 1
.........
type: 'disk'
id: 0
path: '/dev/mapper/XXXX
I have check forums & google and I didn't find anything about it. Any ideas? It is a bug or a "feature"?
How can I change the "path" in the label? I guess It is about the "auto-pool-detection"...
Thank you!
