Hi I have a machine running 10-BETA4. The system has two ZFS pools. One of them is used for the root filesystem, OS, and other stuff, and the other one mostly for data. Yes, there is a good reason for that, one of them is a mirror of mechanical hard disks, and the other has SSDs, I've been using it to experiment. The zfs-on-rooot is the "old school" approach of using a UFS boot partition, with a loader.conf file pointing the root to a ZFS dataset, mounting / /var /usr from /etc/fstab and legacy. So far, so good. The problem is: I am unable to get both pools to work unless I import the second one with a -f. So, the automatic zfs mount doesn't work. I have made sure to have the zfs.cache file accessible as /boot/zfs/zfs.cache, made an import of the second pool, so that the cache file is updated, but when rebooting it is still unable to import it automatically. Trying a manual import it says: root@pruebassd:~ # zpool import -a cannot import 'cashopul': pool may be in use from other system use '-f' to import anyway Any clues about this confusion? No matter what I try, there's a mismatch between the hostid with the system in multiuser mode and the system running /etc/rc.d/zfs. Thanks!
