Hey,
I'm running some test right now before setting up my server. I'm running
Nexenta Core 3.02 (RC2, based on opensolaris build 134 I believe) in Virtualbox.
To do the test, I'm creating three empty files and then making a raidz mirror:
mkfile -n 1g /foo
mkfile -n 1g /foo1
mkfile -n 1g /foo2
Then I make a zpool:
zpool create testpool raidz /foo /foo1 /foo2
Now I destroy the pool and attempt to restore it:
zpool destroy testpool
But when I try to list available imports, the list is empty:
zpool import -D
return nothing.
zpool import testpool
also return nothing.
Even if I try to export the pool (so before destroying it):
zpool export testpool
I see it disappear from the zpool list, but I can't import it (commands return
nothing).
Is this due to the fact that I'm using test files instead of real drives?
- Yes.
"zpool import" will by default look in "/dev/dsk".
You need to specify the directory (using -d <dir>) if your pool devices are
located elsewhere. See "man zpool".
Neil.
