My problem is, when I restart the mac mini, the pool doesn't auto-mount. If I manually run "zpool import tank" then it does, but I'm wondering if the problem is because I created the pool usin gthe plain disk names, i.e. disk2 and disk3. If I do "zpool status" I get this:-
- Code: Select all
pool: tank
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
tank ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
media-DD742F45-1C02-CD4A-B18A-8C10FEC3ACE3 ONLINE 0 0 0
PCI0@0-PEG2@1,2-UPSB@0-DSB2@2-XHC3@0-@2:1 ONLINE 0 0 0
and I'm now wondering whether ~I should have used disk-by-uuid to name them, or something? The 2 disks are identical but seem to have different names in this output, I have no idea if this is related, I'm kind of cluthcing at straws here.
So my question really is, could this be why "zpool import" after reboot fails to mount the drives?
And secondly, can I re-build the pool from the same drives, but by referring to their disk-by-uuid identities rather than disk2 and so on? Without losing the content of my pool, I mean.
thanks in advance
