https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D268830 Bug ID: 268830 Summary: After 12.3 to 13.1 upgrade, failed to mount zfs filesystems Product: Base System Version: 13.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: leif@ofWilsonCreek.com 13.1 (and possibly 13.0) appears unable to mount a filesystem by the name of "tank/.". My pattern has been to set mountpoint=3D/ and canmount=3Doff for = tank. Then I create a descendent filesystem called "tank/." and let it inherit the mountpoint. Why? Using "tank" for / is troublesome because it cannot be renamed, and any special properties get inherited by all others (which some would argue is appropriate but I find necessitates override settings on all other filesystems). Having the mountpoint inherit instead of explicitly set= ting it to / allows such a rename to be performed without a "tripping hazard" of forgetting to update the mountpoint property. I totally understand if there's a new reason this can't be supported. I can endure losing my clever trick. However, I believe there at least needs to b= e a path to recovery, short of using 12.3 boot media; that is, `zfs rename` nee= ds to work. Everything I could think of post-upgrade has failed. Here are details of what happened. After upgrading from 12.3 to 13.1, the kernel successfully mounted the root filesystem and booted, but rc failed to mount any other ZFS filesystems, su= ch as tank/home. # mount tank/. on / (zfs, local, noatime, nfsv4acls) devfs on /dev (devfs) fdescfs on /dev/fd (fdescfs) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) Baffled as to what was going on, I wondered if the other filesystems were intact: # zfs list internal error: cannot iterate filesystems: Invalid argument Abort trap (core dumped) I was able to mount them explicitly: # zfs mount tank/home=20 # ls /home [correct output, redacted] Wondering if something in the upgrade failed, I tried rollback: # zfs rollback -r tank/.@2023-01-07.12.3-RELEASE-p5 cannot open 'tank/.': self reference, '.' is found in name This thankfully told me the problem with a correct error message, so I figu= red I needed to rename from my clever name of `tank/.` to something else, but I couldn't: # zfs rename -u tank/. tank/_ cannot open 'tank/.': self reference, '.' is found in name # zfs set mountpoint=3D/ tank/. cannot open 'tank/.': self reference, '.' is found in name My only recourse appears to be booting 12.3 media and renaming the filesyst= em. Happily I was able to rename it using 12.3 and set the explicit mountpoint without rollback or other hassle. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
