"no pools available" on Big Sur 11.6.4

Postby jordancurve » Wed Feb 16, 2022 11:45 am

I just upgraded to Big Sur 11.6.4 on my Intel iMac and now "zpool list" says "no pools available":

Code: Select all
$ sysctl -a | grep kext
debug.kextlog: 4083
zfs.kext_version: 2.1.0-1
$% zpool version
zfs-macOS-2.1.0-1
zfs-kmod-2.1.0-1
$ which zpool
/usr/local/zfs/bin/zpool
$ zpool list
no pools available


The drives that have the pools are showing up unmounted in Disk Utility (as usual before importing, I think).

now "zpool list" says "no pools available":


Try sudo pool import - should give you a list of any pools available

I tried that, and at first it said this:

Code: Select all
$ sudo zpool import
no pools available to import


Then I checked Disk Utility again, and I realized that the drives weren't showing up correctly after all. I fixed that issue, and now "sudo zpool import" shows the pool. I was able to import it. Thanks for the help, and sorry for the spam.
