Hello all,

I have a strange thing:

* Installed on a ubuntu lucid lynx server edition a linux zfs.
* connected an external storage via iscsi.

all works fine, I can write data on the storage, but on the next reboot of the server, all data seams to be lost.

The thing is that when I type zpool list, all is ok, and the size shows what has been allocated before the boot; as if the files are still on the storage. And on the storage the files are still present. On the server I can rewrite again data on the iscsi (so it is not the connection that goes lost) but on a next reboot a ls -la shows nothing ! Just an empty folder:

Is this a problem of linux zfs??

Probably you have to import the pool.

Try these:

try and follow the instructions.

Once pools are imported, everything should be back in place. You can try
to see if filesystems are actually mounted.

REMEMBER: if you issue the following sequence of commands:

the output of last ls -a will always be empty, because you will still be in the /zpool1 directory of your root partition on root fs. To see newly mounted fs, you need to

It is a general feature, not zfs-related thing.
