Error when create ZFS pool
Posted: 03 Sep 2013 02:29
I'm new to NAS4Free and I'm running into a problem with ZFS.
I have a system single 500GB SATA (may go bigger later). I boot my mini-PC from USB, with the intention of keeping the SATA drive entirely data. I would like to create a ZFS VDev/Pool/Dataset.
1) I create the VDev with Stripe option and it sees the physical storage; all is good.
2) Attempt to create the pool. It sees the VDev, and then I click Save. The pool status goes to "Initializing" in all columns except Name.
I click "Apply changes" and I get an Error 1. I read in another posting to retrieve the log. Here is the excerpt:
(note log shows that I deleted, and then re-added "MediaPool0").
After this the pool stays at "Initializing" state for hours. Eventually all columns switch to "Unknown". Disks|ZFS|Pools|Information always shows "no pools available".
Should I delete this "/dev/ada0" file perhaps? Other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your interest.
