No pools available to import by-uuid

Postby Ikukuru » Mon Jan 13, 2020 3:19 pm

Hello,

I am replacing a couple of disks in my pool and did an attach to increase mirror vdev width. Before I detach the old disks, I want to sort this out.

The pool automounts at boot, but shows a "PCI0@0-SAT0@17-PRT4@4-PMP@0-@0:0" type id rather than the typical style of "media-4EF7BB87-ABA7-B34C-9762-23356144875C".

If I export the pool and then attempt to reimport with "sudo zpool import -d /var/run/disk/by-uuid" it says "no pools available to import". The same if I specify the pool name.

If however I run "sudo zpool import -a" then it imports in the same fashion as boot.

If you look at my "diskutil list" you can see that the new disks (2x 10TB) are both missing the GUID partition markers. I suspect this is the problem.

Is there anyway to fix my disk ID?

Thanks

Hmm I think maybe when using by-uuid InvariantDisk does need that, I'm not sure. Perhaps cbreak can comment on that.

the by-id paths come from various UUIDs in the partition table I think. I get them from Disk Arbitration:

https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... guage=objc
https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... guage=objc
https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... guage=objc
https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... guage=objc

But the documentation is lacking. Despite that, I do agree that you will likely not get away without partitioning your disks with GPT format if you want those IDs. I think diskutil and gpt can do that. Or parted on linux.

The PCI Paths that you use now should be invariant, but not by disk, but by the SATA Port you're using.

I am still considering whether to detach/attach the two disks. The benefits seem fairly meagre. Do you guys think it is worth it?

You could detach the two new disks, then create a temporary pool on them, then destroy the temporary pool. Finally, attach them back as you intended. Then they will have proper labels

@Ikuru it's import -d /var/run/disk/by-id - not by-uuid ;-)

I ended up doing them again with the guid partitions. I am a little confused however, that I cannot expand that mirrored vdev. I made another thread here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3353
