           Summary: ZFS pool on USB drive does not mount correct on
                    startup
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

dmesg

I have a 2TB Seagate Barracuda drive with SATA/USB adapter that I use for
backups and archives. I created a ZFS pool (named Primary) on this drive us=
ing
the entire drive, not a partition, as the ZFS docs recommend. This drive was
previously used with a Linux system and had a GPT partition scheme with one
partition containing an ext4 filesystem.

If I have this drive connected to my system when I power it on, the first t=
hing
to note is that I get some chatter in /var/log/messages about a corrupted G=
PT
partition table:

Mar 17 07:59:38 pangloss kernel: GEOM: da0: the primary GPT table is corrup=
t or
invalid.
Mar 17 07:59:38 pangloss kernel: GEOM: da0: using the secondary instead --
recovery strongly advised.

da0 is the device address of the disk.

When the system comes up, 'df' indicates that the pool is mounted where it =
is
supposed to be and the space utilization numbers are correct. But 'ls' of t=
he
mountpoint returns absolutely nothing. None of the files are accessible. As
root,
I umount the pool and remount and now it mounts correctly.

If the drive is not connected to the system at boot time and I later connect
it, I get similar messages about a corrupt GPT primary table. If I try to m=
ount
with

zfs mount Primary

the mount fails. I don't have the error messages in front of me as I write
this. I will try to duplicate and get the exact sequence and report in a
subsequent comment.

zfs status Primary

said that the pool did not exist. I then rebooted the system with the drive
plugged in and got the same behavior described above (blank filesystem at
first, everything ok after umount/mount).

dmesg attached.
