Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this situation and most importantly, to learn from it: In order to use poudriere, I attempted to create a zpool on a file vdev. Here is what I did. mkdir /vdev mkfile 8g /vdev/disk1 # I was surprised that the space wasn't showing as used by df zpool create tank /vdev/disk1 Then, my system crashed and every reboot kept on crashing. So I started it in single user mode and seen the "tank" pool was listed as "unavail". Single user mode won't crash until I mount -rw / Did I create a race condition having my vdev on / (which uses ZFS)? How can I recover from this? Cancel my create request (which is certainly trying to complete everytime it has a chance but never get there because of the crash)? Thank you. Pierre.
