[SOLVED] ZFS: no pools available

notooth · 03-07-2020, 07:27 PM

I failed to import a pool using these commands:

Code:

# zpool status
no pools available

# zpool import
no pools available to import

# zpool import -f tank 
cannot import 'tank': no such pool available

I just fixed the problem using this command:

Code:

# zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id tank

It may be helpful to someone so i post:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/
Then possibly the first partition of the drive is the one to mount.
For example:
sudo zpool import -a -d /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Samsung_SSD_abc-part1 -d /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Samsung_SSD_def-part1
(-a switch may work, no need to remember pool name)
If issues, try "man zpool-import"
