Indeed. I have had the following for a few years now, due to USB drives
with ZFS pools:
--- /usr/src/etc/rc.d/zfs 2016-11-08 10:21:29.820131000 +0100
+++ /etc/rc.d/zfs 2016-11-08 12:49:52.971161000 +0100
@@ -25,6 +25,8 @@
zfs_start_main()
{
+ echo "Sleeping for 10 seconds to let USB devices settle..."
+ sleep 10
zfs mount -va
zfs share -a
if [ ! -r /etc/zfs/exports ]; then
For some reason, USB3 (xhci) controllers can take a very, very long time
to correctly attach mass storage devices: I usually see many timeouts
before they finally get detected. After that, the devices always work
just fine, though.
Whether this is due to some sort of BIOS handover trouble, or due to
cheap and/or crappy USB-to-SATA bridges (even with brand WD and Seagate
disks!), I have no idea. I attempted to debug it at some point, but
a well-placed "sleep 10" was an acceptable workaround... :)
