1.9.4 preview forum release

[FadingIntoBlue]

Hi all

I've tried out the new 1.9.4 preview release, and it is auto mounting in my setup - Catalina 10.15.3, SIP on

Thanks for all the hard work
Cheers

I've just upgraded from Mojave and 1.8.1 to Catalina (10.15.3) and 1.9.4. It didn't go to plan.

I exported my one and only pool, upgraded the OS and then installed 1.9.4 over the top of 1.8.1. Upon reboot my pool not import. I can manually import it but when I do I now see this:

config:

errors: No known data errors


Where before I saw this:

errors: No known data errors

I subsequently tried to uninstall/reinstall but the results are the same; no import on boot and the pool reported in this way when imported manually. To be clear, there were no other changes between export and upgrade.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Okay, in rooting around a bit I see that the script launched by launchd passes -d /var/run/disk/by-id to import. So that's sorted out, but still not sure what's going on with autoimport at boot. Seeing this in the log:

but in the .err file I see this entries that say "no pools available to import". They're not timestamped so I can't correlate these.

Definitely requires Full Disk Access for /bin/bash

[gfc]

Just to close this out, I've written a small C stub that just execs bash with zpool-import-all.sh as an argument, I've given this full disk access and and call it from org.openzfsonosx.zpool-import-all.plist. This seems to work and prevents me from having to give bash full disk access. The net-net for me, though, is that 1.9.4 does not autoimport on Catalina out of the box.

why can't you get full access?

Another workaround that I used briefly is ZetaWatch

https://github.com/cbreak-black/ZetaWatch

using the Auto-Import Pools setting

Very useful for lots of other reasons as well
